Anyone know if the PCS supplied card can be overclocked? I'm assuming it can be through AMD Overdrive?

You will have the option to overclock your GPU through amd overdrive as you say.
ccc is now called AMD VISION Engine control center,
It will allow you to manually or automatically overclock the clock settings on your ATI video card's GPU and memory. It will also let you manually control the video card's fan speed.
couple things to be aware of,
Overclocking your video card will void your warranty.
when you unlock amd overdrive it cannot be reverted.
