If you're going to pop the money for a GTX 480 :P Surely you can pop money for next day shipping? :p

The only way you're going to get a GOOD noticeable improvement over your current build is if you ditch the CPU/motherboard/RAM and upgrade them ALL. Those parts are not very upgradeable. They died out like 5 years ago when Core Duos and Core 2 Duos were emerging. The mainstream computer market...
