You would pretty much be dependent on the quality of the PSU - i have seen an OC'ed i5 750 at 4.2 and GTX 480 OC'ed on a 450W PSU, but it was a nice unit made by FSP.

If its a joker 500W unit you will be out of luck - but if it is a decent brand you would be able to throw pretty much anything you want in there.

The noise is what kills these boxes in the end. They are LOUD.
