there is no CP cap. there is only however much CP you can get.

items have stat meld caps that affect how much control crafts and cp can be attached. however your character's total control crafts and cp stats are not capped. your character will have as much of those stats as you are able to meld and equip. as gear evolves from patch to patch, the maximum possible cp will tend to increase.
in an effort to stop confusing PROBOUND i'll clarify AishaNymph's response.
430cp without food is the most cp possible with 3.3 equipment. before 3.3 the most cp possible without food was 422. -

think i'll meld like this.. comes 7 control short and gets all the cp and crafts (except for the body..). requires 6 Competence V and 6 Command V materia with no grade V overmelds.
Code:hands, head max melded
7 control
4 control
3 control
5 crafts
5 crafts
legs, feet max melded
7 control
4 control
4 cp
3 control
2 crafts
body short 2 control and a bunch of crafts
11 crafts
11 crafts
4 control
4 control
4 control
waist short 2 control
10 crafts
4 control

4 control
4 cp
rings max melded

Meld as you see fit. Some pieces you can "max meld" - meaning that you can bring them to the maximum possible stats for that piece of gear. Other pieces, there simply aren't enough Materia slots to max out, even if you were to overmeld all t5 Materia. And a few others you can max meld only if you overmeld T5 Materia - a rather expensive proposition.
Personally, I'm doing my best to cap out those pieces that it is possible to do so, while leaving the MH, OH, and Body generally alone (will meld some CP onto the MH and OH tools just to reach the max CP). I won't quite succeed - I'm not going to even attempt to overmeld a T5 Materia, it's too expensive - but I'll come reasonably close. -

i don't have the budget for all V's, but i would be fine with doing my first gem slots as V's and go to IV's for the rest of the way.
would following the same pattern as the original poster be fine for the formula though? i don't want to remeld -

I also made all of my Ironworks / High-Mythrite gear myself using only desynthesis and glass fibers obtained from Mog quests and pentamelded all.
Plus, switching specializations a lot.
But I didn't overmeld with Tier 5 materia because the success rate is far too low to be worth it. In terms of profit / loss, overmelding with V materia is a loss, even if you were to succeed 100% of the time (virtually impossible), simply because that level of Craftsmanship won't be needed to craft any new recipes in the future.
