Hello people!

I'm planning to buy an Inno3d GTX 460 at factory settings along with a Thermaltake 500w 80+ Bronze PSU. Then overclock it afterwards using Nvidia's Ntune or Rivatuner so that I don't have to pay extra for an overclocked GTX 460. It will be my first time to overclock and I wouldn't want to screw my brand new GTX 460 because of bad overclocking. I need options for OC'ing a GTX 460. Like: what can be the Graphics/Memory/Processor clock can I OC my GTX 460 using a 500w PSU? Also, can the Thermaltake 500w PSU handle an OC'ed GTX 460?

The link that I've visited doesn't have the answer that I'm looking for, that thread is focused more about CPU bottlenecking a GPU and comparing benchmarks. My question is, at what frequencies can I OC my GTX 460 which is still safe and can still be handled by a Thermaltake 500w PSU? I think my Casing has 3-4 stock fans, will that be of any help in case I go with the OC?
