Is my PSU too weak for overclocking under such hardwares?

So I've been thinking of overclocking this i5 to around 3.7ghz, but the PSU I have at the moment could already be on the edge of its limits. So please I need help

Thanks for helping me!
 
I'd say you will get a decent overclock (1 ~ 600Mhz) but not a HUGE overclock like over a Ghz, no way. You may as well leave your chassis fans on, they draw so little power it's not worth fussing about, hell, it's counter productive turning chassis fans off as then the other fans work harder and draw more power
 
Yeah it will be your overclock settings. I would have got a 650w for that rig to make sure there was headroom but you should still be fine.

You just need to learn how to overclock properly
