Hi I was wondering if a OCZ 650W Certified Bronze PSU would be enough to power this overclocked i7 build? I plan to hit at least 4.5GHZ. Going to get a cooler master cpu fan as well later on.
My build:
i7-4770k
Nvidia GTX 770
16GB DDR3 1600 RAM
5 120mm Fans
DVD ROM
AS Rock Z87 Motherboard
OCZ Bronze Certified 650W PSU

Thanks!!!!

It would probably be enough but you will want a bit more headroom. Try going to pcpartpicker.com and inputting any and all components you will be using, it will have a section telling you the wattage required. Now that number will certainly be a bare minimum, at stock. For over clocking will take more and to assure you aren't maxing out your psu try to double the value it provides. You will probably want something more around 800W. PSUs operate at their best efficiency at around 50% of the maximum output.

For example my build will draw less power than yours and I went with a 750W
