I’d say you’ve got plenty of CPU for HTPC use. I’m actually surprised that what you have isn’t handling the 1080 video just fine without HWA.
I have a mini-ITX system with a single core Celeron (Conroe-L) running at 2 GHz with NVidia 9300 graphic on-board and it plays most content just fine, though I have seen some stuttering on some Blu-Rays.
A new video card will probably get you a much better experience than a processor upgrade IMO.
