Get a new PSU ASAP. It poses a fire risk and can damage all your parts.

Get a new PSU and look around for an i7-2600 or 2600K.

 

Other than that, it looks like a pretty solid upgrade.

maybe if getting new CPU, i think xeon e3-1290 would be better. it's about 120$ on aliexpress.https://ark.intel.com/products/55452/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1290-8M-Cache-3_60-GHz

But anyway i think better to buy new CPU and mobo cause old CPU upgrade not worth it from i5-2400 to a bit of performance and money loss.
