The biggest issue is that low quality PSU, I wouldn't pair it with a nice GPU. It tier 4 on this list, not for gaming PC's http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

so will the psu cause any problems ?

Gaming PC's put the psu under high load for long periods of time. While I expect it will work you may encounter stability problems after time or problems overclocking. Worst case is it dies some time in the future and damages other components, the VS has very little safety features to protect your system.

You have a gaming pc with high end components that's capable of overclocking. The PSU is probably the most important part, it powers everything and both gaming and overclocking need a stable supply.
