I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 5600G processor with an RTX 3050 graphics card, along with 16GB of 3200MHz RAM, a Biostar A520MH motherboard, and a 600W power supply. I mainly play Valorant and Wuthering Waves and am looking to upgrade while sticking with AM4. I want to know what graphics card would be a good upgrade for my setup. Also, what kind of FPS can I expect in those games after the upgrade? Thanks for any advice!

Looking at your FPS targets, I would recommend considering the 5700X3D or the 5800X3D along with an RX 9060 XT. This combo would likely get you the 300-400 FPS on Valorant and around 120 FPS on Wuthering Waves. It might stretch your budget a bit, but it could be worth it for the performance! If 3D chips are out of budget, then a 5700X combined with the 9060 XT is still a good option, just expect slightly lower FPS on Valorant.
Your motherboard should work, but always good to double-check compatibility!
If you're on a tighter budget, consider older GPUs or something like the RX 9060 XT. It offers decent performance, but make sure to check if you can find it for a good price. It's a solid choice if you want an upgrade without going overboard on spending!
That RX 9060 XT sounds interesting! I'll look into it.
Yeah, I've heard good things about it too!
For your gaming needs, a good budget option would be something like a 5060 or a used 4070. Both can give you a solid performance boost without breaking the bank, especially since Valorant and Wuthering Waves aren't overly demanding games. You don't necessarily need the fanciest GPU out there, so a more affordable card should fit your usage just fine!
What's your budget and FPS target for these games?
Totally agree! A solid mid-range card should cover your gaming well.
Do I need to worry about upgrading my motherboard for this?
