Recommended PSU for this build

Hi!
I have this build on a stock CPU cooler, and I'm getting Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme. I was wondering will my 600W PSU be capable enough for some slight OCing? I'm not yet going for CrossFire...
ASUS P8Z68V-LX
Intel i5-2500K
8GB RAM
1GB Sapphire Radeon HD 4890
1TB HDD
DVD-+RW
Thanks in advance!

Yeah you'll have plenty of power. You can use this calculator for PSU's : http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

CIT EN60950 switching power supply 600w,
yeah, not your best, I assume...

That looks like quite a cheap model, I'd be very wary of using that in worries for your machine melting!

Yes, I'll have to look for a better brand I suppose, no way round it... Don't want the system to melt on me!

Thanks everyone for heads up with 600w anyways. That linky tells me 398w would be recommended with all the bits I have but i know for sure the video card alone needs 400w minimum (learned the hard way after blowing a 400w PSU before). Thanks guys!;)

You could power all that with a good 600W unit, easy.
