Any quality 500+ watt power supply should handle the system without issues.

You have a 125 watt cpu. Lets add 150 for good measure.
GTX 760 @ 170 watts. Lets add 200 for good measure.
Motherboard and memory, lets go 75 watts.(should not take much power to be honest)
Hard drives average about 10 watts. lets ad 15.

Giving an overestimate of 440 watts. Truth be told the system will not use this much power, but running a power supply to close to the max is not great anyway.

The Hyper 212 is the goto aftermarket cooler as long as it fits the case.

I do not see an above website. Can you please post a link.

Remember, the power supply has to be a good one. Some cheaper ones use older designs that are not suitable for today's 12 volt hungry devices.

This is a newer version of the cooler I mentioned. You need to remove the board to install this if you do not have a cutout behind the board in your case.

Alternatively.

Both of these are large coolers so you NEED to make sure your case can take them. The second one is also wide so you need to ensure it would clear your memory.

Lots of out of stock on that site and cooler seem more expensive in your area.

The coolermaster is a bit cheaper a flipkart if you shop from them.

EDIT, you added more posts

Having more capacity on a power supply never hurts.

The stock cooler is designed to keep the cpu within the thermal limits. It may be loud and a bit hotter, but it should work ok.

I have seen people game for years on the stock cooler.

Even the most basic aftermarket coolers are generally an upgrade, but the selection is a bit strange in your area. Here the 212 was like 15-20 dollars for a while(800-1100rs). Make sure you have good air flow in your case and maybe keep an eye out for a good cooler sale. in general 120mm coolers are better than 80/92mm ones.

i will be overclocking so just to be safe is this psu okay ..?

For overclocking an aftermarket cooler is good for sure.

Seasonic makes some of the best power supplies, so that should be fine(it has 480 watts @ 12 volts.). On a budget you may have cheaper options.

The only problem with the lower end Corsair units is the capacitors tend to be cheaper to cut costs. This can lead to a shorter like span. They do not seem to list 6 or 8 pin. Most 760's use 2 x 6 pin as it stands.

Corsair would save you some money and allow you to maybe grab a cooler to help with cpu cooling.

If your case has a bottom mounted power supply it will also be better so it does not suck hot cpu air.
