I have the following system

Intel Core i7 2600 (not OC'ed obviously)
Gigabyte GA-z68x-ud3h-b3
8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
EVGA Superclocked GTX 560 TI
Corsair 600T Case
Corsair TX v2 750 watt Power Supply
Adata S510 120GB SSD
Asus DVD+RW

If I add another EVGA Superclocked GTX 560 TI, do I need a higher wattage PSU?

You're perfectly fine to add another gpu with your specs.
No worries!

Low power can also cause overheating issues. However I don't think that you are all the much on the edge. Have you plugged the components into a psu calculator? That should give you the projected maximum load. As long as that is under your psu you should be fine.

For a system using two GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 700 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 50 Amps or greater and that has at least four 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Your Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 (CMPSU-750TXV2), with its +12 Volt continuous current rating of 62 Amps and four (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is more than sufficient to handle the addition of a second GeForce GTX 560 Ti and do some overclocking.

ko888,
Thanks for the info. I was looking for nvidia's minimum spec for SLI and couldn't find it. Could you direct me to where you found the 700W/50 amp minimum requirement?
