hello,
i'm looking to overclock my fx 8320 but have a 500w power supply. i'm curious about safe options given the limitations of my power supply.
my setup includes:
- psu: evga 500w
- gpu: r9 270x
- motherboard: msi g70a-g43
- ram: x2 4gb ddr3
- x1 1tb hard drive
thanks, max.

PSU wouldn't cause a problem, MB will stop your OC well before PSU would limit it and create an issue.
