You're running a motherboard with only 5 VRMs, none of which are cooled. You're also using a stock cooler, which is only designed to handle the heat produced at stock settings.
I highly advise against overclocking on your current setup.

Seasonic M12ii 520w Bronze EVO Edition? If so, it's good to go. That model will not complain about overclocking.
What will hold you back is your motherboard and CPU cooler. However, I don't recommend putting more money into an FM2+ system since the platform no longer competes with Intel at all. I'd recommend making the change to Intel Skylake. Note that an i3 6100 will run circles around your current CPU.

AMD doesn't focus on single core performance, rather they focus on more total cores per CPU. However, this proved to be the downfall of FM2+ and AM3+. Because of this, the i3 6100 (built for high single core performance) will run circles around any AMD chip (even FX 9xxx) even in heavy multi-threaded workloads.
If an AMD computer can do it, an Intel computer can do it faster while using less power and making less heat.
