Overclock i7 2600 (non k)?

You already built that to be clear? Z77 combined with Sandy Bridge is unusual.
You should be able to overclock 4 bins over stock via the Turbo function. So the 2600 with Turbo on runs at 3.5Ghz with all 4 cores active. 3.6Ghz with 3, 3.7Ghz with 2 and 3.8Ghz with only a single core under load. You should be able to increase those values 400Mhz each via the Turbo multiplier.
Leave the BCLK at 100. For everyone saying you can't do it, with Sandy and Ivy i5 and i7 non 'K' processors on overclock capable motherboards you can get the 400Mhz with any of those CPUs. You have to use a P67, Z68, Z75 or Z77 board though.

400Mhz is a decent overclock. Certainly worth doing. Nothing to it either just change the multiplier. No need to change voltage and you can even do it with stock cooling. Some boards will let you overclock all the cores to the max of 42x multiplier. So effectively overclocking the whole chip to 4.2Ghz. Just play around with the settings and see.
They got rid of the 'cheat' overclock with Haswell.

If what he says is true then I would also suggest updating your bios. When I updated the bios on my x58 board last year I found that my max core multiplier had gone up from 20 to 21. It's why my i7 920 is at 4.2 instead of 4.0. So even if it only shows x39 right now updating the bios might net you that little bit extra.
