I would like to find out if the psu is sufficient for overcloking.

I want to know if the Corsair RM Series 850 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply - CP-9020056-NA RM850 is enough to overclock both my cpu and gpu.

My build is as follows:

Cpu: AMD FX 6300
Gpu: Gigabye 970 G1 gaming
MoBo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+
CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H80i
Memory: Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3

So this is a trusted manufacturer and a good power supply, like say you reccommend this version of the 650w over the RM version? and say if I were to upgrade to a 8350 would that still cover me?

Yes it's higher quality than the RM , made by one of the best SEASONIC.

Yes your covered even with 8350.

Well if that neat gif you got going on is any indication I do believe you have answered my question, thanks.
