Does having a cheap power supply reduce the lifespan of overclocked components?

I'm building my first gaming rig here and I wanted to possibly overclock my CPU and graphics card. I heard that the power supply unit should have stable rails and very little ripple in order for the overclock to be best. So I was wondering if the power supply I bought would be ok or if it would cause problems or possible reduce the lifespan of my components if I overclock them.

My PSU is a Sentey Xpp725-hs 725w power supply.
I'm using:
Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H motherboard
Intel core i7-4790k
Asus Strix GTX 980 Ti GPU
CPU cooling fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Here is an Amazon link for the PSU for any details on the unit you may need

Thanks for any help I might get!

Yes, it will happen often very quickly in a large fiery explosion when all your expensive components burn to ash due to a shitty psu failing. Honestly get rid your old psu and buy a new one. That thing is like a ticking timebomb that can destroy all your components in few milliseconds.

So do you recommend the 650w or 750w version? And the G1, G2, or GQ version? Keep in mind I'm trying to save at least a little bit of money.
Thanks for your reply.

650 watt version is enough but they are all so good that I would just select the cheapest of the 3.
