Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card and CPU soon. I've chosen the RX 6500 XT for the graphics card and the 5800XT for the CPU. Right now, I have a motherboard with an A320 chipset. Will I need to upgrade the motherboard to support these new parts, or can I stick with what I have? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Your AM4 socket is compatible with the A320, so you should be good to go! Just check if your new components are AM4 compatible to ensure they fit into your setup.
Consider what you're using the PC for, and let us know about your budget, RAM, and power supply. An A320 board might struggle with a power-hungry CPU like the 5800XT, which could limit your GPU performance due to the older PCI-E 3.0.
The motherboard should generally work, but you might need to update the BIOS to support the new CPU. It's a good idea to check for any updates.
