No, not currently.

That solved the problem! After disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS, I am able to boot the installation media as EFI. Thank you!

I know I could probably just continue with the old-fashioned BIOS install way, but this is a brand new computer and I'd like to install with EFI if at all possible. Is it something that I have to 'activate' somewhere in the BIOS or something? I know it can use EFI, so I have no idea why Arch claims it doesn't :S
