So I have a EVGA SuperNova G2 750w PSU and a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU that is overclocked, do I have enough power for another one that is also going to be overclocked?

I ran 2 7970s at 1.25 volts each on the bronze version of that power supply(believe yours is gold?) and it handled it just fine, your fine by a big margin

As long as you OC the PSU first. jk

 

Assuming you can achieve that OC, the PSU will be no issue.

Highly doubt you can get the second one to 1600MHz 24/7... And if you have to run 1.3v through it in order to do so, I wouldn't run more than like 1.27ishv through a 970 24/7.

The one I'm running now is on 1.262v w/ 1600 MHz 24/7.

Power-wise you'll have more then enough. However whether you can actually hit 1600 or not will depend on lottery. Gigabyte's GPU Gauntlet guarantees you a decent overclocking card or higher, but it's not perfect.
