Do you think that I could overclock my FX-6300 with Corsair VS-550 PSU?

Hey. I've thought about the idea of overclocking recently. The only problem is that I'm running on what's described as a not-so-great power supply (Corsair VS550) and stock cooler (planning to upgrade soon, though).

I want to hit 4ghz. Do you think I can manage that? FX-6350 is 3.9 ghz and uses a stock cooler. Do you think I will be fine with my setup? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Using an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard and MSI GTX 750 Ti (Twin Frozr, factory overclocked I believe).
 
Solution
Not so great PSU. Exactly.

Get a better cooler, and maybe you could boost the multiplier a little bit without raising the voltage. But raising the voltage would probably pull too much.
