Hello there,
As the title suggests I am looking forward on overclocking my 2500k.

My only problem is that I run an enermax 620watt bronze power supply and also 2x gtx 560ti (stock clock).

Would that be an issue? Should I be looking for a power supply upgrade ?

Thank in advance for any answers given.
 
i would sell your gtx560tis and just get a more powerful and far more efficient gpu before anything else. yes, you can upgrade your power supply to a better quality one, but i dont think you need a higher power one. heck, even an rx460 would give you the same overall gaming performance with a vastly lower power consumption. the rx470 or incoming gtx1050ti would be a better upgrade though. both are roughly 100-130w total cards which is almost half of what a single 560ti draws giving your power supply a huge break on load.

im not sure how much you can sell your 560tis for though. a quality 650w power supply is going to cost you at least $60. a gpu upgrade will cost $100-150 but $40-60 you will get back from selling your current cards.
