The PSU is 750W, I was hoping this would be sufficient to boost the CPU safely... Thanks...
The PSU seems adequate for CPU overclocking, though it might be a bit excessive. You likely only need around 600W, maybe less. But if you're okay investing a bit more and confident it's a solid choice, then it is a Platinum Rated PSU and works well...

This power supply is adequate for CPU overclocking, though it might be a bit excessive—likely only needing around 600W. If you're okay with investing a bit more, it’s a solid choice and definitely exceeds expectations as a Platinum-rated unit.
Thank you for your quick responses. Based on what I know, the GPU is factory overclocked, so pushing it further might not be wise. I plan to purchase a suitable PSU to ensure the CPU and possibly the graphics card can be overclocked safely. I'm taking care not to damage anything during this process.
600 should be sufficient for safely overclocking both the CPU and GPU, no concerns needed.
