I just finished a build and i know for a fact i can overclock it. But considering my PSU i am not really sure how far i can push it. I am pretty new to overclocking so thanks for having patience!

Here is my build
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/EyeEmmaJedi/saved/ptJp99

Two of the main components cant be found at pcpartpicker so i added them as custom parts. Added a link to the place where i got them, a store in Norway.

I was wondering how do i go about this and what is possible to overclock? I also noticed that my graphics card was pushed pretty hard at stock 1045 MHz, don't know how common that is but i just left it there.
Thanks for reading!

The PSU you have is a Tier one and I don't see anything wrong with it. You should be able to overclock.

You video card is voltage locked even if you up the voltage in Afterburner or EVGA precision, it won't make any difference in power draw. So that leaves the cpu... You could at best add 100w if you're an extreme overclocker on water or better. I would say you're pretty safe to overclock with the psu you listed, unless you plan go for a world record for mhz and cpu voltage.
