1. I wouldn't OC on that motherboad, it isn't of a lot of quality.
2. 250gb OF STORAGE ISN'T ENOUGH. A 1 TB hdd will do you much better
3. Get better RAM

4. If you drop to 8GB of RAM, you can get a rx 480 4GB, a considerable improvement!!!

The thing with that is that I don't use a ton of storage (I've used 90 gb in 3 years) so 240 should be sufficcient for a good while. If I need to I can get a 480gb. Plus, I really like SSDs and their fast bootup times.
Thanks for the other advice though.

Then here, do change that motherboard if you want a stable OCing platform. This build also has a HDD and an SSD. What will you do with the build? Gaming?

Yes, I'm planning on using this for light gaming (casual CS:GO and other Steam games) and schoolwork. Thanks for your help.
