Hi, have you set the system up yet and run it all on stock to check everything works and is stable. I would suggest this before overclocking. Then, I think how far you push it depends on what you want to do and how much risk you are willing to take. I would overclock incrementally and check things as you go. When you reach a point that you are happy with in terms of performance then stop. But that is just me, I am sure others will have a different approach, all the bets :)
 
One of our members here wrote a guide to overclocking dual core LGA 775 cpu's like the one you have. You can read it here. Make sure you take the time to read it all. Then, when you have questions, come back. BUT READ FIRST. :)
