possable option, use a nvidia gpu cuda compattable and use badaboom as your encoder, very fast and much faster than cpu, but all depends on what type of video you are using and converting to
here's a link to the badaboom site, it might help you decide what to do badaboom
if you can give some idea of budget for the upgrade we can give you a better anwser
but if your system is very old (ie: no pci-e slots) then yes you will need to upgrade your board and cpu, i think if you want a little future proofing then amd keep there cpu sockets around longer than intel
if you can give us some idea of budget for the upgrade we can advise you a little better
