So my rig consists of an i5 2400, an LGA 1155 board, an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+, 8GB DDR3 1333mhz ram (4x2GB), and three 7200 rpm hard drives. my power supply is an EVGA 450 BT, 80+ Bronze 450W. Now I plan on upgrading to the i7 2600, would I be needing to upgrade my PSU too or no?

You shouldn't need to upgrade your PSU. Both the 2400 and 2600 are 95w TDP processors. Your system is probably pulling 350w at most, and that's with everything at full load.
