Hi everyone, I recently purchased a new Evga GTX 1060 standard with one fan. I also bought a Corsair PSU, specifically the SF450 80 Plus Gold model. I think it's a solid PSU and should handle an i5 4590 with 8GB RAM and two SSDs. The main concern is whether this PSU is sufficient to perform a mild overclock to match the performance of the SC version. I know each GPU overclock can vary, so I might not be able to achieve it, but I just want to confirm if the PSU will support it. Thanks a lot.

this psu is more than sufficient. regarding overclocking, it will generate heat and noise, so i think it's best to gradually raise the clock speed until you reach your preferred setting.

I often want a little extra margin, a reliable power source, and a fair price.

Thank you for your response. I've already purchased the PSU, so swapping it isn't possible. If the PSU isn't sufficient, I won't proceed further.
