I currently have a MSI Armor Geforce GTX 1080 8G OC graphic card and on the package it said Over clocked ready. Does this mean that its meant to be pushed to the max and wont die out quick like other GPU's?

All it means is that it comes with a clock speed higher than that of the reference specs set by Nvidia. This is referred to a factory overclock. In your case 1797/1657 MHz boost/base clock vs 1733/1607 for the standard GTX 1080.

Typically higher end cards come with higher factory OCs, as well as beefier cooling solutions/board design. So they may overclock better (or just run cooler and/or quieter) than cheaper cards. The "Armor" line is MSI's budget line of cards, so no I wouldn't say it's really built to be "pushed to the max".
