You may have a few problems when you upgraded the PC.
  1. The RAM may not compatible each other.
  2. The MB may not have the right BIOS for the rx480.
  3. The 450W PSU may have problem to handle the rx480.

So try to remove the new 2GB RAM, and the RX480, use the gt620 and the old RAM. Then try to install the win10. If you can do it, then shut down the PC, add the RAM to see what happens. And you will know the RAM are compatible each other or not.

Next, add the RX480, boot the PC, and you will know your PSU can or can not handle the rx480, also keep in mind the gt620 is the OEM GPU, the rx480 is retail GPU, you may have problem to add the retail GPU into the OEM PC, like your Acer PC.
