I am currently running the a build using a CX750M (here) that I got for free after assisting in some PC work a few years back and have been using it since. My current issue is that I want to start to overclock my GPU and potentially CPU but I am nervous since I realize now that the PSU is fairly cheap and not ideal. However from what I have been reading since its modular the capacitors are higher quality (not completely sure if that's true). I personally think it should be fine since its a 750W and my build is rated for 371W not overclocked I should be fine since there is lots of head way. But I wanted to ask some people with more experience on the issue since this is my first time going through the whole overclocking procedure.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, sorry I didn't go into greater detail. You are fine using that PSU for OC'ing your system with the i5-4690K and GTX 970.

Okay, is this just because of the wattage since I am not coming close to fully loading my PSU. Or is there another reason? Not trying to be a nuisance just want to fully understand. And I am assuming I should be fine to do some overclocking to my CPU as well then?
