I'm trying to put together my first home built gaming rig in over a decade. I put together the part list, and I was just waiting on the EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hydro Copper to top it off, but I was poking around today and realize that I undersized the PSU. :/

I've seen several other NCASE users who have listed the Silverstone SX600-G as part of their builds, but even with that, I imagine I wouldn't be able to OC and I might end up with an unreliable system since it is so close to the recommended minimum? Does anyone have advice for me? I'm going to paste in the NCASE details regarding power supplies below:
Power supply
* SFX PSU support is standard
* SFX-L (SFX extended to 130mm long) is possible using the v3 and later SFX bracket, which has been revised specifically for models based on the Sirfa/High Power unit, which include:
** SilverStone SX500-LG
** Sharkoon SilentStorm SFX Gold
** High Power SFX-L500GD
** Chieftec SFX-500GD-C
** Scythe SPKRG-S500P
Please note that due to the limited space available, SFX-L is a tight fit when used with long GPUs.
ATX PSU support is possible using the included bracket with the following limitations:
* Cannot be used with the dual 3.5" HDD cage or 240mm radiator mounted to the side bracket (120mm radiator is still possible over the motherboard area)
* Up to 160mm modular PSUs may be used with short GPUs (under 195mm long)
* To use an ATX PSU and GPU over 195mm, the PSU can not be longer than 140mm and must be non-modular. It is not recommended to use an ATX PSU with a long GPU, due to the excess cables.
* The AC inlet orientation on some ATX power supplies may prevent the angle plug from fitting, please check carefully. See this image. Note: the included AC cable has been changed from right-angle to left-angle for v2 and later.
