At maximum power draw, it is 135W. So a 600W power supply would be able to power the 2nd card without a problem.

135W is only for the cards. The power output would be higher than that, but a 600w should suffice.

We would be looking at rough total of 400ish watt.

Yep, that sounds about right. And remember, that's at absolute max load. Even in heavy games you're unlikely to get near that number. Ideally, you want to be shooting for ~60-70% Power usage at absolute max load for the best efficiency.

Keep in mind overclocking those cards and CPU can make a big difference to power usage. They're both efficient parts, but have the potential to suck a lot more power when heavily overclocked.
