Can I upgrade my current MacBook Pro or buy a new one?

Model MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Storage HARD DRIVE 250 GB
OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite

Hi, I have looked at upgrading my current laptop with some much needed performance boosters, but do not know if in the long run it is worth, or if I should save up for a newer model.

The updates that I think first to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD 250 GB and secondly to replace my 4 GB of ram and 16 GB. (Officially, State Apple this machine does support 8GB, but it's been verified since it can take up to 16 GB).

While I know that these two updates should improve the speed and performance of my pretty spectacular machine, roughy wonder how many years my phone will be usable for after the upgrade. The limiting factor main seems to be my processor, which I am aware might be an obstacle in the future. I understand that apple tend to make updates each new OS X only available for latest machines, and I fear that soon, they will be unavailable for Core 2 Duo models. Can anyone confirm this?

So, I guess my question is, how to limit will be my processor to the duration of life/performance of my mac if I perform the above upgrades?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

It depends on.

If you use a lot, I recommend to get a new MacBook. If you use too many, your MacBook Pro will be fine.
