Is it advisable to run this PSU with

Q6600
8800GT 512mb
1 sata HD
1 DVD Drive
2gb RAM?

I know stock will be fine.. but if I want to OC to 3.0 GHz?

should be fine but why go so cheap with a nice system like that? apparently you don't care about modularity so any of these will do for barely more cash:

I'm planning on using it in a similiar rig to Ang, but with an 8800GTS, 1 SATA DVD DVD-RW, 2x2gb of ram, and an overclocked e8400. According to eXtreme's PSU calculator, I'll be well within the power this PSU will provide.
