3500+ should I or not?

I have the following specs:
1. AMD 3500+ @ 2.7ghz (500 mhz overcklock)
2. EP-9NPA+SLI motherboard (http://www.epox.com/USA/product.asp?ID=EP-9NPAplusSLI)
3. 1gb kingston value ram
5. 2 hds
6. 2 optical drives
7. btf 92 with fan speed cotrol + high performance thermal compuond
8. 7600gt sli
9. 430 wat antec psu tri rail

I would like to know if I should overcklock my cpu any further. I will be upgrading to a 3870x2 and a more than adequate (600+) psu. I am pretty sure that then my cpu will be the bottleneck not including my memory of course. My cpu maxes out at about 115F or 45C-46C. If I should oc how far should I go since I havent seen any reviews go this high but I would like to hit 3.0ghz
