Hey there, Sloppynachosbro!

I'd suggest to first make sure that you've enabled and configured the controller (SATA mode) to AHCI in BIOS. I'd also suggest you to format the SSD again and not use GPT. This partition table is designed for larger HDDs (above 2.2 TB). Usually your OS drive requires MBR, unless you are using UEFI BIOS which according to the specs of the motherboard, you don't.
So I'd suggest to start from scratch but maybe first use diskpart to clean the SSD:

Hope I was helpful! Good Luck! :)
