   Hi, I am slowly upgrading my prebuilt bit by bit, I'm no expert, but I have added some components and I was wandering if my i5 2310 needs upgrading?

 

It runs at around 40c to 60c depending on what I'm doing.

I use it for gaming and editing at prolonged use and have used it for around 3years 

 

 My mother board is a Ms 7728, I have an evga gtx 650 ti, 450watt power supply, 8gb ram and I have a 120gb Ssd and 1tb HD.

 

 

It would need an upgrade eventually, but it fits in pretty well with your build. If you feel like your CPU is too slow, thats your call, but as far as gaming goes, I think you should upgrade your GPU, That CPU should have no problems with a 950. You might want to upgrade to eliminate bottlenecks with a 960 or higher.
