I'm looking to upgrade my PC on a budget of $300 and I need some advice on the best CPU and GPU combo. Here are my current specs: I'm using a Ryzen 3 2200G with no dedicated GPU, just relying on integrated graphics. I have 32GB of RAM running at 3200MHz on an MSI B450 Pro M2 Max motherboard, powered by a 500W Cooler Master power supply and housed in a Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1 case. I'm aiming for around 100+ FPS in games like Warzone and GTA 5. Any recommendations?

For a solid performance boost, I'd recommend investing in a new GPU. You can't go wrong with a 9060XT 8GB, which should give you around 5060 performance for about $260-$270. You might also find used options like the 6700XT or 6750XT around $250. It's true your setup will feel a bit unbalanced at first, but that's the best way forward. Once you save up a little more, consider upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600.
Definitely good advice on the used GPUs. If you're looking new, a B580 is also solid. Also, keep an eye out; you might snag a Ryzen 3600 for cheap too!
