i am thinking of building a pc with an msi 4070ti and ryzen 9 5950x and is a 1000 watt psu enough for overhead and for overclocking?

That's actually overkill. I use a 1kW PSU myself and it was capable of running twin R9 Furies in Crossfire (550W combined) without so much as a hiccup in 3DMark. Your RTX 4070 Ti isn't even close to two R9 Furies when it comes to power draw.
 
1000w will be fine in fact to a point of overkill but with GPU's and CPU's getting more and more power hungry every generation a decent platinum 1000w PSU (corsair is my go to PSU) is going to last for a few upgrades anyway so money spent now is money saved later !!
