I'd switch out the MoBo to Z270 chipset for CPU OC. Or switch the K-series CPU to non-K series CPU (e.g i5-7600) and keep the B250 chipset MoBo without no CPU OC ability.

Btw, you're missing the RAM from your build. If you keep the B250 chipset MoBo then fastest RAM you can run is 2400 Mhz. If you go with Z270 chipset MoBo then fastest RAM you can run is set by the MoBo but i wouldn't use faster than 3000 Mhz RAM.

Your Cooler Master Hyper T2 CPU cooler is weak to cool your CPU, especially when you OC your CPU with Z270 chipset MoBo. For better CPU cooler, i'd go with Arctic Freezer i32 which i have in my Skylake build to cool my i5-6600K CPU.
