Not overclocking it at the moment. Bit worried with the cooling of it as the problem with the case being open. It's very warm when running games as it is so haven't looked into overclocking.
Any recommendations for a better chip? Cheers @Dramatic_Hammer

Anything Haswell i3 and up should be an improvement if you're running it stock (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/pentium-g3258-overclocking-performance,review-32974-14.html). I think if you start getting into changing the mb, you might as well move to the latest generation Skylake stuff.

I have a barely used i3 4330 or something. Decent wee chip. I had it paired with a £40 motherboard and it ran everything like a champ.

Are you overclocking this? Looks like you could get a big performance gain if the mb/cooling allows. Otherwise I'd say get a better 1150 socket chip.
