For overclocks I would suggest staying away from Corsair's lower priced GPUs. They simply aren't built as well, but are reliable for non-OC systems.

I've heard amazing things about the Antec High Current Gamer series, and not a bad word in the mix. Check those out if you're interested in replacing the PSU.

You may get an decent overclock, you may not. The parts may refuse on you because of "dirty" power, or just because they got the bad draw of silicon.

look into EVGA supernova PSU with at least 650 if your looking at overclocking.
Remember pending on your build plan make sure you get a decent psu that has decent capacity.
For example: if your planning to get GTX970 in future 500W will be enough but a minimum of 750W 80+ Gold is needed especially if your planning to overclock.
