Hi, with the following hardware:

-Intel Core2Duo E8400
-Asus Geforce 9800gt 1gb
-3gb DDR2 ram
-320gb hard drive
-Motherboard: P5KPL-AM SE

will a 420w LC Power PSU be enough to sustain it? I bought the above this month and got a little short on cash, so i can only buy a new psu at the end of the month. Im only worried that it may fry the entire hardware :\.

I'd get at least 500W PSU from a known manufacturer like CORSAIR. 420W from what seems to be a no-name brand sounds very risky, especially if you're going to overclock.
