OK, so I have a bunch of new(ish) components and after reading some terrible disaster stories Im scared my 620w PSU will destroy my build.

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371048

Here is a list of what it will power:

i5 4670k
1 Asus GTX 760
2 x8gb DDR3
1 Maximus Hero VI mobo
1 Samsung 840evo 120gb SSD
1 2tb HDD
4 Case Fans
1 212 Evo CPU Cooler

Am I approaching the limit here on this? Do I need to perhaps need to move to a 750w? Another thing is that if I made the decision to OC the CPU, would that push me over the threshhold? Thanks for all your help!

your psu will handle both the cpu and gpu oc very well ...only one thing your psu will not handle is another gtx 760 if u plan to sli in future...

Thank you! That goes a long way in relieving my worries, I thought it would be sufficient, but spending an hour reading stories on failing PSUs and overdrawing wattage will freak anyone out haha. Just wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything.

What about for the future overclock? Should I hold off on that until PSU upgrade?

I thought about that, by the time I need to upgrade GPU, I will probably try a stronger one card solution than try to SLI 2x760. If all goes well, probably a year or two away from that anyway.
