Yes friend. That is not the best PSU from Corsair, but still a good unit with a strong 12V rail. You will be able to overclock.

You will know when your have reached power limit when you hear fans dropping RPM at load or system shutdown under load.

While the vs is a mediocre quality unit , I'd argue you have so much 12v headroom there is room for some overclocking.

Hiwever
1. You can't overclock the CPU on a b85 board.
2. The zotac card has very strict power limits (110%) & there is very very little to be gained from overclocking anyway.
