Hello!

 

I'd like to buy my friend's pc, but i'm not sure if his current power supply ( G550M 80+ ) could handle the overclocking of his:

 

-i5 4690 (3.5 to 3.9)

-gtx 760 dcii oc 

 

This is the complete build :

It can handle it but the G550M is not exactly the best PSU out there (Tier 2.5 approximately) so ripple might be a limiter

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
