Hey everyone! I could really use some help with my computer situation. I bought my current PC about two years ago, and it's starting to struggle with newer games. I can play most games on low to mid settings, but performance is choppy, especially for the latest titles. Gaming is primarily a single-player experience for me, and my favorites include Monster Hunter, Cyberpunk, and the Assassin's Creed series. Unfortunately, my rig just can't handle these games smoothly anymore.
Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, MSI A520M-A PRO motherboard, 16GB DDR4 RAM, AMD Radeon integrated graphics, and a 250GB M.2 SSD. I'm using a generic monitor that I don't think will fit a new setup, and my case is outdated.
I realize I need to upgrade, but my budget isn't huge at the moment. I can save up about $150-$200 each month, even if it takes me up to a year to get the right components. Ideally, I'd love to build a new PC that can run most games on high settings without issues and possibly include dual monitors and Bluetooth support. Plus, I'd like a lot of storage since I have many games installed. Thanks for reading!

Have you checked which parts of your old PC are still usable? If it's a complete rebuild, you might need a budget of around $700, but you could potentially get by with $500 if you're okay with buying used components. Just something to consider!
Thanks for your input! The build I have now is relatively new, so I'm willing to wait and save for better components instead of going used if it means a good quality build.
