Throw away the PSU, buy a new one, you'd wanna make sure you have a performing PSU, which is a LOT easier for your peace of mind if you bought a new PSU for overclocking the 2600K into beast mode instead of using an older one you've no idea how many hours of use it's had.
Overclocking to 4.5Ghz is WAY TOO EASY, and you only need the equivalent of a Hyper212 to get there.
Pushing for more,... get a better CPU cooler though!
Trust me... getting to 4.6-4.8Ghz is also do-able (bar the bad silicon lottery), but temps are getting towards concerning levels on the Hyper when up to 4.8Ghz or higher.
