Quick look at the speck and you would be losing.

anything by going to an rtx 480

RX 480 or RTX 480

For what you are using the system for my honest opinion would be a waist if money.

that’s what i am thinking

your memory, GPU, processor, and PSU are all excellent.
but there are other things, like motherboard, we know nothing about, so let’s get your complete PC specs.

get Speccy from here; Speccy - Download Builds
in Speccy, click File > Publish Snapshot (hit Yes if prompted to proceed with publish) > Copy to Clipboard > Close.
now you can paste (Ctrl+V) that link into your next post.

Have to is a very strong term, I have worked on computer from over 30 years ago and they’re still capable of doing what they were designed for, granted they can’t always handle modern programs and applications.

With that caveat out of the way, what are you planning on doing with your computer? Why do you want to upgrade? An 11th gen i7 and 30 series GPU will stream content and play video games no problem, if you already have that system I wouldn’t waste your money - quite frankly.
