600W enough for 9800 GTX SLI?

I placed my order for a second GeForce 9800 GTX to do SLI this weekend without giving the power supply a second thought. Now I'm giving it that second thought and wondering if I've got enough to power. The 9800 GTX specs say:
Minimum 550 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amp Amps.)

I don't feel like plunking down another $150 for a new PSU if I don't absolutely have to. What are your thoughts?

PSU: OCZ StealthXStream 600W
- 4x 12V @ 18A each

Rest of PC:
i7 920 2.66 GHz (not OC'd and stock HSF)
6GB DDR3 (1.75V per XMP specs)
GeForce 9800 GTX
3 SATA HDD
1 SATA DVDRW
Antec 1200 (inc. 6x 120mm LED case fans, 1x 200mm LED case fan)
