If that thermaltake is

-Toughpower series (greater than 600 Watts)
then definitely you are ok!

If it is
-Litepower series
-Purepower RX
-Toughpower <less than 600 watts

then it PROBABLY can, these are average units, not meant for overclocking at all.

Any other thermal take is considered a tier 5 PSU on this list.

Tier five - Replace immediately. These units are NOT recommended for any system, no matter the purpose. Reference to higher tiered models for a better and potentially money-saving unit

DO NOT USE THE TR2 Series of Thermaltake PSU, unless you want your system to spontaneously combust. A 600W PSU will be fine just get a better quality PSU. Give this a read>>>http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/power-supply-psu-review,review-32270.html
