So I will buy a 700w Zalman-ZM700 LX 80 plus power supply and will i be able to overclock my gpu from 1000 mhz to 1200 mhz and memory clock to 1600 mhz. It will be paired with a Intel I7 4790 non k and a Asrock B85 Pro4 motherboard.

I'm not particularly sure on the quality of the Zalman-ZM700 LX. If possible, get a better quality unit like XFX or Seasonic. A quality 650W should be enough.
Hawaii gpu don't overclock well. I doubt you get it to 1200mhz and 1600Mhz.

Youl never get a tri x to 1200/1600. 1150 at best even that is dodgy and i found anything over 1450 memory caused artifacting. 1100/1350 found best for me and can me an extra little needed boost with pretty much no extra heat- 100% heaven tests for over an hour never went over 74*
