3500 calories should be about right, thats considering you are working out (hard) and do a little cardio on off days. You can just go with 3500, evaluate after 2 weeks, and adjust.

What you need to do is find out your resting metabolic rate and then start by eating 500 cals above that. Go to fast and just dive into eating a bunch of cals and you will get fat. If you are gonna bulk, might as well do it right so you don't have to cut to much later on.
Plenty of fitness sites where you can input your measurements and stuff and they will give you your BF% and metabolic rate is.
