I'm looking for the most affordable graphics card to pair with my Ryzen 5 3500X, as I recently learned that without a dedicated GPU or integrated graphics, I can't get any display on my monitor. I'm really on a tight budget, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Any PCIe GPU will give you a display output. If you're looking to play modern games, consider something like the RX 5700 or the RTX 2060. Those will let you game smoothly at 1080p with low to medium settings.
If you're only using it for basic tasks like web browsing, the GT 730 would be a cheap option. But honestly, check your local used market—I've seen solid cards like the GTX 1070 and 1080 going for just $80-$120!
Should I be concerned about bottlenecking if I go for an older Nvidia GPU?
