I'm looking to build a new PC and I'm set on getting an RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM. I currently have an ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0 motherboard, and I want to know if that's a good match. Also, I need a CPU with integrated graphics so I can start using the PC before I get the GPU. Any recommendations?

In terms of performance, either the Ryzen 5500 or 5600 would work fine, but I worry you might run into some bottleneck issues, especially when pushing demanding games at higher settings. Just make sure to optimize your settings once you have your GPU!
If you're on a tight budget (around €100 max for a used CPU), the Ryzen 5 5600G could be a decent option. Just keep in mind that some older 300-series motherboards can have compatibility issues with the Ryzen 4000 and 5000 series, though. You might have better luck with a Ryzen 5 5600 that isn’t the G variant, or even a 5700X if you find a good deal!
Yeah, definitely check if your motherboard is up to date. It might also be worth considering the Ryzen 5500, which is solid too, but just remember there might be a bit of a performance bottleneck with the RX 9060 XT.
