I'm new to building PCs and need some help understanding what the image means. Right now, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics, and I'm looking to upgrade to a better CPU from my prebuilt system. If anyone has suggestions for mid-range CPUs under $400, could you let me know where to find them? Here's the image I'm referring to: [link](https://imgur.com/a/uAMrYhM).

I just upgraded from the 5600G to a 5700X for about $170 on Newegg. Prices have been climbing lately, but I think it's worth it in the long run. If you're open to used options, you might find even better deals. The 5700X is a solid choice for modern gaming and fits the 'mid-good' category you mentioned.
Honestly, the setup you have is not that great. But for those on a budget, it’s all about making the most of what you’ve got. Not everyone can afford the top-tier options, so just look for ways to stretch the usefulness of what you've got!
To seriously boost your system, consider getting a B550 motherboard. You can find good used ones, and if you score a deal on an X570, that'll be even better. This allows for Gen 4 PCIe which is a big upgrade in speed. Also, let us know your GPU; it’s important to determine if you’re relying on integrated graphics or have a separate card.
The text looks a bit jumbled, but it should say it supports AMD's 3rd Gen (Matisse/Renoir) and 4th Gen (Vermeer) processors. Also, you could get a 5800X or 5900X if you're looking to maximize your $400 budget!
It looks like the image is showing motherboard specs, indicating that it supports 3rd and 5th gen Ryzen CPUs with an A520 chipset. So, it's a lower-end board. The mention of Ryzen 3 with 4 cores is a bit confusing, though. Can you clarify where this picture is from?
