The cpu isn't unlocked, so you can only tweak the baseclock (not really recommended) and not the multiplier. The gpu however you can overclock with no issue with the PSU you have. There shouldn't be any bottlenecking issue with your cpu/gpu as far as i can tell.

You can't really overclock your CPU beyond a 400mhz boost, and you shouldn't need to add more power if you're doing that.

You can change the multiplier but only increase it to a maximum of 4.
