Hey guys, just built my computer 2 days ago and I wanna overclock my GPU...here are the specs

Case- Antec Performance One P180B
Motherboard- EVGA A1 775 Nvidia nForce 680i SLI ATX
GPU- EVGA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz
RAM- G.SKILL 4GB (2X2GB) 240-Pin DDR2
PSU- Antec True Power Trio 650W
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200RPM 3.0GB/s
OS- Windows Vista Basic 32-bit (Upgrading to Ultimate soon)

With this system how much should I overclock my GPU? ATM I get anywhere from 47C to 51C at idle and in-game (CoD4 etc) i get anywhere from 70C to 74C...Knowing these temperatures and my computer's stats how much should I overclock my GPU? please help!
 
Wow...at 70, you're pushing it as is. Many systems shut down around 80 to 90, so you may be able to squeeze a little more performance out of it, but wow, it's running pretty hot already. How is this thing cooled? You might want to add some more fans or something if it's running at 70C.
