Which CPU is it, we need the model number. For example. i7-2600 or i7-4790k

How do I check that?'

Press the Windows Key and Pause Key on your keyboard at the same time. Then release...

it says intel(R) Core(tm) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz. is that enough and is the CPU good?
Also I´d like to go a bit overkill so that I could recycle the cooler if I upgrade

This is about as overkill as you can get. Thats a decent, but very old CPU, should still play games fine however.

Thank you. And yes I know the cpu is old but hey it works and has enough power for me. At least for now.

Don't worry about it to much, its probably more powerful over all then my i5-2500k. I am using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler on my CPU.
