How much could I overclock this to?

And any other CPU's recommended over this one in the same price range (give or take $40)

Hi.

For exactly $30 more you can get a much better CPU, the Phenom II X4 955 BE.

Regarding how much can overclock that CPU, I can't tell you exactly because that depends of your other components, temps, skill and CPU himself.
