If I was to setup a mining machine with quad 750 Ti's powered by a sempron 145, would 4gb of ram be enough to run ccminer efficiently, or would 8gb be needed?

I tried to run 4x 750 Ti's with my sempron 145 and 2gb of ram a few months ago and that didn't end well. If anyone is currently running their miners with a low powered CPU such as a Sempron 145 I'd appreciate if you chimed in. Smiley
Running 3x750 Ti's on the cheapest available Sempron with 2 GB of RAM.  Still on ccminer v1.0 .. getting 5.75 Mh/s total for X11... no overclocking.  ccminer uses ~15% of the cpu.  I wouldn't recommend 2 GB on windows though... that sounds like a nightmare... this box runs Xubuntu and has free ram still.  Built the box before I had heard of X11... thanks to the authors of cudaminer/ccminer, the box is more profitable than ever.
Sadly Windows needs more than 2GB Sad 4GB is the bare minimum of what I'd recommend to use with Windows
I got few. 6x750ti miners with the cheapest celeron I could find. Each rig has a 4gb ram, running windows 7. I only had problems when ccminer only released with x11 support, a day after Christian released another version, and since then CPU use is about 15% on all algos.

i've bought 8gb instead(the same model as my gaming rig) so if all this crap won't be profitable in the future, i can use those ram instead of selling them

It will be profitable as long as NVIDIA got advantage. If someone upgrade AMD for that algo  , it will not be profitable to mine sooner or later. Recent example is talk coin.

talkcoin is still profitable despite amd boost, 0.015 per rig (6 750ti) is not bad imho

how is the power consumption 750ti on talkcoin>?

it depends on the oc for 1300 core around 60w per card
