Doubts about the power usage during overclocking of the FX 6300
I have some concerns I’d like to resolve. First, I own a completely stocked FX 6300 and want to increase its speed. The issue is that I have a very inexpensive and generic power supply, the one included with this case:

My motherboard is an ASUS ATX M5A97 R2.0. I’ve heard the Hyper 212 Evo is a great cooler for this CPU. I was thinking of purchasing one to reduce the loud jet turbine noise from the stock unit and possibly enable overclocking for better performance. However, I’m not sure if I can handle it due to the power supply limitations. Could someone clarify a bit so I can proceed with confidence? I have limited experience building PCs and this is my first fully budget build. Thank you. If you need more details, let me know.
PSU is the smallest issue for you, even with the highest OC it only provides 10-20W. The majority of extra power is drawn from the VRM on the motherboard, though this one should allow you to reach 4.5 GHz easily.
