In catalyst control center enter the AMD Overdrive. After that, you will se your clocks. You can also use MSI afterburner.

Anyway, after that, just turn up the know on your core or memory clock. I like to push it 25mhz and then benchmark it. Or just play demanding games Like Crysis 3. If it works, close the game and increase another 25mhz. When you'll go over the limit or reach it, your games will start crashing.

Be warned, though, I don't know how much you can overclock on that PSU, but I'd say quite some. Make sure you monitor your temps with something like Speedfan so you don't burn it, but on stock you probably won't.
