This overclocking manual suggests a 4GHZ processor is probable, but it varies by system.

A straightforward response is.............. yes.
Your PSU appears capable of sufficient power, though the overclock could be limited by its low-quality design. Stable and clean power is essential for optimal system performance during overclocking.

It's unclear what price you're paying or your location. Within its price range it's a decent option, but inexpensive power supplies aren't ideal for overclocking. Overclocking increases power demands and cheap PSUs won't keep the system stable. This doesn't mean you can't overclock, just that you won't achieve higher speeds. You wouldn't be able to run an F1 race in an economy car.
imsqam: Not sure what price you are paying or what country you are in. In its price range it is good choice but cheap PSU's are not suitable for overclocking. Overclocking places greater demands on the power supply and cheap PSU's will not maintain system stability. Doesn't mean you can't overclock, just you won't be able to reach higher speeds. You can't run a F1 race in an economy sedan. Here is a link to a PSU tier list (although getting a little outdated) well if i oc it would i be able to use gtx 1070 gpu?
