Can my PSU handle overclocking?

thulsu · 05-09-2007, 03:07 PM

First off, let me just say that you guys have been awesome in your advice and suggestions whenever I've posted on this forum. It helped me make one of the best buying decisions in my life.
As for my actual question, I'm considering OCing my CPU, GPU, and RAM (I've posted my comp specs below) but am a little concerned if my PSU can handle it. I would also like to have the option of adding additional fans or cooling in the future which will of course require more power. Any advice, suggestions, or even recommended programs for OCing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
