So, a quick rundown I have a i5 4590 that when I'm gaming Sits around 72 - 75 Celsius. But other people on the forums say it should be in the high 50s mid 60s. I have cheap thermal paste from ebay and I use a stock cooler. Should I buy expensive thermal paste or should I buy a new fan and paste?

Under load (gaming) there is nothing wrong with your reported 72-75C temps.
