depending on your PSU it will run fine. It'll bottleneck a little, but not too bad, my 470 improved a bit when I went from Q9550 to 3570k.

I'd avoid the GTX 480 unless you are getting it for super cheap. The 750ti performs near the same and doesn't turn your case into an oven. Without knowing your power supply, we can't be sure whether the 480 will work in your system. Is there a specific reason you are looking at the much older GTX 480? Also, you probably already know but your cpu is going to hold you back in most newer games.

I'm not sure what PSU you currently are using but a 750 ti requires very little power - what I'm saying is you can probably get a 750ti without having to upgrade your PSU. If you can run a R7 250 you should be able to run the 750ti. What is your current PSU?

50:50 with the 480 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1135?vs=1130 would wipe the floor with the 280. But the 480 is hot, very very hot, loud and old. for similar prices get the 750ti. I'd want to see the 480 at £50 to compare the 750ti.
iv got a standard 400watt PSU heres the cheapest price i found for GTX 280 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-280-1024-MB-ENGTX280-HTDP-1G-A-Graphics-Card-/281419916886?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item4185ef2656

Forget the 280 altogether it doesn't support DX11. To get a 480 you'd need a QUALITY brand 550w or higher... Just get the 750 ti and you'll be set. Here is a hierarchy chart to give you relative performance of various cards: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

^+1 750ti, if you've only got 400W, the 480 was a beast in terms of power, heat and noise, and forget all about the 280. 750ti is the value sweet spot, get it from ebuyer for free delivery, and don't forget you are getting warranty too, there'll be nothing on the 480.
actuuly just checked i need to upgrade my psu in order to use the r7 270 which i wuold have to spend quite a bit to buy a decent/good psu so will cost quite alot all togeather where would the GTX 750 TI i can plug it straight in it would work
