It's a poor quality PSU , I wouldn't overclock with it.

That is a sub-par PSU. For overclocking it is HIGHLY recommended to choose no lower than a Tier 2 power supply according to Tom's Hardware PSU tier list here.

The reasons are too long to list here, but the bottom line is their quality with voltage management and thinner gauge wire can wreak havoc on the expensive components you just invested in. Here's a four year old thread with someone asking a similar question:

Many people make the mistake of saving $20-$30 on what is the most crucial component of a PC build with the power supply. It cannot be emphasized enough that the most researched part of a PC build should be the power supply. It's the heartbeat of the PC.
