Inquiry about safe overclocking speeds with these components
Even superior compared to the usual, but it relies on your GPU; if it requires more power, you'll definitely need a better PSU.

I can only describe what my system is configured for.
I use the same CPU with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, running at 4.2GHz, and I didn’t need to adjust the voltage.
However, I don’t play games; I rely on a 4-monitor setup for online trading, which is less demanding than gaming.
My temperatures stayed the same, though they increased slightly by a few degrees when charting and broker software were active.
Once more, I don’t use this PC for gaming, but the i5-4690k chip handled overclocking well for my requirements.
Surely save the OC levels, you can reach even greater heights.
