Sell it. State where you are located and which online store you're shopping from.

should i sell it or upgrade

If this is a gaming machine, I imagine you'd want a better graphics card and a better CPU to maintain better FPS. A meaningful upgrade would entail a 4790k processor and probably another 8GB RAM module to enable dual channel memory operation. In the US market this is about $220. Depending on your choice of your GPU, you might need a new power supply. I am not including a graphics card cost because this part is transferable to the next build. If you can stick with this upgrade for a couple of more years, it might be worth it because it is an easy upgrade now, and 4790k has a solid single core performance especially if you are willing to overclock it. Whatever you have saved up towards a new system will put you into a DDR5 platform that will be light years ahead of this system. On the other hand, if your goal is to buy something like GTX 3080, and you are ready for a modern machine, I'd just sell it now. This is coming from a guy who games on 3770k with GTX 1070ti.

Keep the corsair 500R which is a decent case.

The rest of your parts are either old or cheap versions that should be disposed of.

Thanks for your time and suggestions I'm thinking of 4k setup with minimum possible spend

Still fine for office work, surfing, etc...

Sell it is a $50-$55 Corsair 100R or similar...
