Hey folks! I'm planning to upgrade from integrated graphics to a dedicated graphics card and need some advice on what will work with my MSI A520M-A Pro motherboard. I'm currently considering the AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB), but I'm open to better suggestions if there are any. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with Radeon Graphics (3.60 GHz)
- RAM: 16.0 GB (13.9 GB usable)
- Current Graphics: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (2 GB)

In general, most GPUs from the last two decades should be compatible with your motherboard, so you have a lot of good options. Just think about your usage needs and budget!
Just a heads up, double-check that the RX 580 you're considering is a genuine RX 580 and not the RX 580 2048SP. Also, what do you have for a power supply? You'll need sufficient wattage for these cards.
Any graphics card should technically work with your motherboard because the PCIe slots are backwards compatible. The key factors will be your budget and the availability of the card you want. Just make sure to match it with your CPU too!
Good to know! I've heard the Ryzen 5 5600GT is a decent match with various GPUs. Just make sure whatever you choose fits your budget and needs.
