I currently have a E8400 on an asus ip5 mobo with 4 gig Ddr800 ram and a ATI 4850 GPU. I'm not a big PC gamer at all. The only game i play is WoW. However, with my new purchase of a PS3, I am starting to get big into bluray movie rips. To do so, I use PS3 media server to transcode my blurray rips into the correct ps3 format. My e8400 def struggles a little bit to keep up. Will the upgrade to the i5 750 be a huge improvement? Or do i need to look at spending more money on an i7? Is 4 gigs of DDR3 suffiecient also? Thanks!
 
The I5 will be a huge improvement but if your focus is video encoding I would close the door at everything that isn't 4 cores+ and with hyperthreading, so definitely I7. Even an 860 would do nice. :)
 
If you just need something "good enough" to handle the transcoding, then the 750 should do the job. However, I would recommend that you try out a bit of overclocking with your E8400 first, since you may not need to buy a new CPU altogether.
