A little, humble and above all austere graphics upgrade.

Really happy so far but kinda scared that a 1000W PSU (gold) won't give enough juice to OC my CPU (4770k), what do you guys think?
I got a lot of components hooked to it:

- 1x SSD
- 2x HDD
- 1x optical drive
- 5x 14mm corsair fans.
- 16gb ram

Everything stock speed.

1000W PSU should be enough.

What model is the PSU, if I may ask? Some are better quality than others.

It's a RM1000 corsair PSU I think it's gold.

It's not the best, but it's not that bad either. "Gold/Silver/Bronze" etc are just efficiency ratings - they tell you how much power the PSU can put out compared to how much it takes in. They don't tell you how well the PSU is built, the quality of the parts, how reliable it is, etc.

Take a look at this list, which will break down quality levels for most commercially-available PSUs: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

you have plenty of spare juice. do you have enough pci-e connectors?

I wouldn't worry about your PSU. I run a AX760i in my dual 780 and overclocked 4770k setup at home and have never run into any issues whatsoever. 32GB ram to boot.

How much higher you got it to run?

CPU, I was able to get at 4.8 stable, but the temps were a bit higher than I liked.

GPUs, I recall bumping them around 115 on the GPU clock, and about 60 on the mem clock.

I only did this for scoring purposes on stuff like 3DMark. For games and daily usage, I have both mildly OC'd at best.

RM series is not the best but you should be good.
