I overclocked my FX-4320 at 4,4 Ghz using the BIOS multiplier, and the temperature remains normal (I'm using a Hyper 103 from Cooler Master) with a 500W PSU. I'm considering switching to a 650 or 700W PSU for a new graphics card. My concern is whether 1.404 Volts is too high for the CPU and if it's safe, as indicated by the max voltage shown in CPU-Z.

Yes, 1.4v falls within the acceptable range for the FX series, with a suggested maximum of 1.5v. Regarding your GPU, what model do you currently have and which one are you considering upgrading to? Power efficiency has improved significantly, so you might not need to replace the PSU.

I need to purchase a RX 480 Strix. My PSU is an nJoy Titan 500W 80+ Bronze. I also have two LED strips and LED coolers, so I'm unsure if the PSU will be sufficient.

The OuterVision calculation gave me 425 watts with all my gear, and it suggests an EVGA 650W PSU. I tried the Cooler Master calculator too: http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/. I was very careful about fans, storage drives, and LED strips, but got a recommendation of 425 watts for my setup including the CPU overclock.

Yeah, the load wattage is 433W and the recommended PSU wattage is 483W.
By the way, this is on my PSU (image: http://imgur.com/a/xG5MQ).
Will it work?

EduardD wants an RX 480 Strix. My PSU is a nJoy Titan 500W 80+ Bronze. I also have two LED strips and LED coolers. I’m unsure if the PSU will handle it.
OuterVision gave me a calculation of 425 watts with all my gear, suggesting an EVGA 650W PSU. I don’t know... (http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator)
Consider using the Cooler Master calculator: http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/
I was very careful with fans, storage drives, LED strips, and got a recommendation of 425 watts for my setup including the CPU overclock. So it should be fine, right?
