Possibly. I use a 300W card with a quality 600W PSU. That's getting borderline though depending on the system.

You'll almost certainly be fine with a 750W, unless your CPU is particularly power hungry and your PSU is particularly crap.

I eagerly await the point at which $500 TVs surpass the human eye's ability to discern an upgrade. But that time is not now.
