What should I upgrade next /g/? My budget is $300

I was thinking of getting another RX480 or should I get a new CPU?

What you should do is review some benchmarks of gaming on your CPU versus a comparable but higher grade AMD one if you're sticking with AMD, or an Intel CPU, more than likely your CPU cannot keep up with your current GPU so buying a second one would t really make that much difference in gaming. Alas, it's your choice not mine, I can only offer my input.

So perhaps an upgraded CPU for gaming. How about my RAM? Does that need to be upgraded if I add another GPU?

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob.

No, your RAM doesn't, unless you begin to experience lag while running an application or games. However more doesn't hurt, if you examine task manager and it shows a memory usage at 90+ percent you might want to look into getting more.

From all indications it looks as if the 480 is better than the 980, so your results could be improved upon. This benchmark shows your CPU against an intel Core i5 6600k, which at Microcenter costs $199 and you get a $30 discount if you bundle with a motherboard as well.
