The power supply might not provide enough capacity for both the processor and GPU overclocking.

Yes, you have plenty of headroom for that and it's a good PSU.

The processor and your card are fairly energy-efficient, which means you should be able to overclock them using that power supply.

An i7 (any recent i7) and GTX 980 are rated at (Nvidia takes precedence)

500 watts.
You're 150 watts in front of that and a gold psu to boot. No chances overclocking everything.
'Your processor and card are relatively power efficient' doesn't mean much.
Looks like a Ferengi eBay salesman.
Thanks for double-checking, really helped! I'm sure ak47 was just trying to assist though lol

Just to clarify, you're significantly more than "150 watts in front of that."
Your GPU supports up to 165 watts, and your CPU handles 91 watts. Combined, they use around 256 watts. During gaming, you'll typically reach between 300 and 350 watts for the whole setup. Adding another GTX 980 wouldn't strain your system much.

Just to clarify, you're nowhere near "150 watts in front of that".
Your GPU is designed for 165 watts, and your CPU for 91 watts. That adds up to just 256 watts for these two parts. While gaming, you'll probably hit around 300 to 350 watts overall. You could even fit another GTX 980 and still have plenty of power remaining.
Thanks for the details! Appreciate it a lot.
