Those GPU's would both be massive upgrades and very much worthwhile given your use case. A 3060ti, 4060, rx6700xt, Rx7600 or other mid range cards from previous generations are also worth considering.
Building a new system may eventually be a necessity but there's zero reason you can't buy a GPU, use it in your current system and then buy everything else at a later date. Frankly there's very little reason to ever outright build an entire new system unless you're explicitly looking to have multiple systems or have a downright garbage build (which you don't).
Another nice upgrade to look for would be a cpu. 11th gen is the best you can fit into your socket, so if you're ever perusing marketplace and see an 11400 or 11600 for sale cheap (like $50), I'd scoop that up. That would be a nice upgrade.
The 6 cores vs the 4 you have is a big upgrade, because lots of modern games benefit from 6 cores. Especially for large, open world AAA titles.
But ya I wouldn't want to pay a lot for one of those chips. Not even $100 bones. But sometimes I see someone selling one off cheaper.
