There's no doubt you should upgrade to the i5, as your Pentium will bottleneck hard. But as for the PSU, 450W would likely not be enough. I would look towards a XFX 550W (still would be pushing it a little), or a Seasonic 620W unit.

Just saying, that with that i5 your computers going to be awesome. I'm currently running an i5 4760k with a evga gtx 770 and I have to say its a beast performance wise. Your power supply that you currently have isn't going to cut it though, I bought a 700w thermaltake psu. It's on sale on newegg for $60 right now and you can save another $20 if you use the mail in rebate. It would be perfect for your system and could handle overclocking also.
