Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my current PC and could use some advice. Here are my specs:
* MSI B450M Bazooka Max
* Ryzen 3 3200G APU
* 600W PSU - 80 Plus Gold Certified
* 16GB DDR4 3200MHz
* 500GB NVMe SSD
I can run games like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Witcher 3 on low resolution without any issues, but I'd love to improve the graphics. What upgrades do you recommend? Thanks for your help!

It looks like you're in need of a graphics card since that's the main component affecting your gaming experience. But keep in mind that your current CPU might bottleneck any decent GPU you get, so upgrading the CPU would be beneficial too.
What's your budget looking like? If you're open to spending a bit, I would suggest the 5000 series APUs or upgrading to a Ryzen 5600 or 5700 CPU paired with a dedicated GPU like the 5060 or 9060. That would make a significant difference! The 5700G is a solid choice for an easy upgrade without much hassle.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm aiming to spend around $200-300, but I'm also considering whether I should save up and build a whole new setup. The 5700G seems tempting for its low maintenance and simple installation!
