Yah it should handle any overclock you can achieve with air cooling.

I'd agree with Dunlop. As long as you are not agressively overclocking (AND overvolting) both the CPU and GPU - that PSU will be fine.

If you are looking to go for an extremely high overclock on both CPU/GPU and plan to spend a long time tuning it for absolutely maximum perfonce (and don't mind it running very hot) - you might need a bigger PSU.

But if going off some online guides for beginner overclocking and not trying to push for the moon - you will be fine.
