    PSU vs Intel Core i5 2500K - Overclocked Bundle

    Hey all

    Struggling to come to a decision myself so looking for some help im looking at the above bundle available via Scan and just can not decide if i should upgrade my PSU to "cope" with the OC.
    I currently have a cheap PSU Powercool PCPC750AUBA 750W Power Supply (PSU)
    750W PSU, Powercool PCPC750AUBA, 80 PLUS, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, Quiet Fan, ATX v2.2 (i would post a link but i cant seem to get round the minimum post filter, but this was brought through scan and is still on their website.

    I know the Wattage is plenty, but im wonder if the cheaper PSU will hold stable at the Overclocking rates of the bundled CPU.

    Any help/advice would be most welcome.

    regards

    Jamie

    I have an xClio 650w PSU powering a 3XS i2500k overclock bundle with two hard drives (one is SSD) and two GTX460 gfxs card. So far (4 months'ish) it's had no issues at all.
