is a 1300 watt PSU enough to run two S5's?

Yes it is, as long as its not a terrible brand.

It should, but it's close to boarding on it not (only 10% headroom).  I would think it's OK, but would keep on eye on the setup for a while before feeling comfortable leaving it unattended.

S5s are 590W at the wall with a ~85% PSU. That means 500 pre PSU. 1000/1300 = plenty of headroom.

The S3 specs. stated at the wall, but my meter on my power supply and my Kill-A-Watt showed that the readings were at the power supply.  If the S5 is the same then not so much headroom.
