Hi I've got an old server from my company, and i was planing to upgrade it.

Here is the current spec:
1 x intel Xeon E5220
22 Gb 1334 Ram

Here is the links for CPUz Screenshot:

https://ibb.co/knbaUm

Here is what i'm gonna do:
Add 2 x 5680 Xeon processor,
Add 1060 6g Graphic card
64 GB 1333 Ram

Is it really worth upgarde?

My main use will be 4k Video editing in premiere, After effects and adobe softwares

Let me know what you guys think and suggest me if there is any other parts i can use.

Thanks in advance

An Intel website says nothing specific about an HP motherboard. In my opinion, if HP never sold it with 130W CPUs it won't support them. Just because the Intel chipset can support 130W doesn't mean the power or cooling infrastructure of the ML can support it.
The 8GB x 3 for one CPU is optimal. You should get another set like that.
The more CUDA cores the better for video editing.

The ML350G6 was sold with the X5675 CPU as the fastest CPU. That is a 95W CPU. The X5680 that you propose is a 130W CPU. I don't know if it will support the 130W CPU. The CPUs used in that generation of server are triple memory channel CPUs. That means you would get multiples of 6 DIMMS.
See PDF page 3 of the quickspec -- https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getpdf.aspx/c04200238.pdf?ver=75#pagemode=bookmarks so with Unbuffered you can get 12 x 4GB DIMMs or with Registered 18 x 16GB memory.
