What should I OC my CPU to?

My build has been running for a month and I just added another graphics card. It's a gigabyte gtx 1060 xtreme, and I'm wondering what I should overclock my AMD FX 8320 to. I don't want the CPU to become the bottleneck since I'll be playing CSGO, which is quite CPU-intensive. I came across this link thinking it would cause a bottleneck.
Let me know your thoughts, and I hope it stays cool.
Thanks

Each system is unique, so there isn't a fixed target number. We must first identify the make and model of every component, particularly the motherboard, CPU cooler, and power supply unit. If any of these elements aren't suitable for overclocking, then you shouldn't proceed with the attempt.

I have identical CPU and GPU, and I haven’t needed to overclock for the games I’m using. I believe CSGO isn’t too tough. Are you experiencing any issues while playing it?

You can inquire about the frame rate, but you haven't installed it yet.

I have not kept track, but I play BF1 1920 by 1080 at high settings and I don't notice any lag.

When you play the next round, you can inform me. Enter net_graph 1 in your console to reduce its size, or net_graphproportionalfont 0 to remove it. This displays the FPS.
