First of all, it that's the wrong section for this thread, then sorry, wasn't sure where to put it.
Straight to the point, I recently started building a computer, bought a Corsair RM550W power supply. After that, I decided I will be clocking my cpu. Question is, will that Corsair handle clocking the 4670k, hopefully at 4.4Ghz?

I've already received the power supply so if it's not absolutely necessary, I wouldn't really want to return it. According to partpicker, this setup would drain about ~420 watts. How much of an increase in wattage usage will clocking bring?

1. The pcpartpicker link you put up there is just a link to the build your system page, not your build. Try again on that.
2. Overclocking doesn't really require extra wattage, you will do fine overclocking with that PSU

Edit: Yea, RM550 will be able to handle your build along with overclock as overclocking CPU doesn't require much more watts than those that you need for a safe setup

Woah, I'm really suprised myself tbh!



So according to the video Hamster put up and your estimations, this build would work perfectly fine on RM550W with 4670k @ 4.4Ghz and GTX 770? Would I still have some overhead to add some hdd's etc?
