What motherboard are you running?
Also, is it a Black Edition 5000+?

Not sure how far you'll be able to push your CPU, but I would try a few mhz increments at a time, check your load temps with prime, see if it's stable. You will have to raise your vcore up a bit as well, but don't do it too much.
As for your gpu...use RivaTuner, but I dunno what a safe OC would be. Just keep an eye on your temps.

I guess you could, I don't know much about it. I've always used RivaTuner.
