This is my current build: 8700K, msi armor 1080ti, asus z370-e, Corsair CX750M

I need suggestions on the PSU. Should I upgrade it for overclocking?
Now, I overclock both CPU&GPU and I heard that PSU can hurt my components.
Note that, his PSU is a reused part from my previous system. If I should upgrade, what model would you recommend?

Thank you :]

I personally have always been a big fan of EVGA. I have a 750w for my 8700k / 1080, and it does everything. I've had it for at least 2 years and it still handles all my components.

For overclocking, if you're concerned about it I'd say check your temps now and if they're a little warmer then upgrade, depending on your budget. I think an 850 would be more than just fine for what you're doing. Plus, it never hurts to have a newer product over a used/old one.

For the temps, my CPU running at high 70c to mid 80c on prime 95.

A quick question, would 750 be fine or I should get 850?

EVGA is so darn to find in Thailand.

Thanks for your answer!

Seasonic is not an option here too. Are corsair PSUs bad?
