yes it will be fine to overclock with that PSU, make sure u read a bit on overclocking before doing so.

doubt u will get an fps boost in watch dogs by OCing, the game is just poorly optimized.
it probably aint even using ur gpu to the max as is.( only assuming, not sure)
just wait for a watch dogs patch instead, if u r only OCing because of watch dogs.
