Bought a [spoiler]laptop[/spoiler] for Christmas.
i7-3630QM @ 2.4Ghz 6MB Cache
8GB of 1600Mhz RAM
GTX 660M 2GB
1TB 5400 RPM (Not amazing, I know)
15.6" 1920x1080
How'd I do for $900?

It's ok, but you'll have to run planetside 2 on low settings

Do you think it would be alright to OC the 660 a bit?

Probably, if you have the option. Adding voltage is what adds heat and you won't be doing that on a laptop, you will get some gains from overclocking though.

Because I was going to that relatively soon, what would be a solid choice? I only really want enough room for Windows and a few games, so around 64GB.
I believe it has room for an M SATA.

Got the Y580 myself, seems like everyone has one by now. Here's about the limit for safe OC on the GPU, though I'd recommend keeping it a little lower or you'll have voltage issues

Was such a great deal for the money, couldn't pass it up!
Thanks for the picture, man.
Is the OC noticeable that much?

It helps out a lot, even skyrim runs great, not quite maxed out settings, but for a laptop I can't complain.
I'd stick with a max stable clock of 1160/2700, in case you want specific numbers

Why should someone buy a workstation GPU for gaymen?
