Hello, I'm considering an overclock with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and currently have an EVGA 500w PSU. Should I stick with this setup or upgrade to a 750w model like the EVGA G2?

I've had one OC'd on an Anteq Basic 450W with a 7870XT (a tahiti LE AKA HD 7930) for two years, and it hasn't changed much at all.
