Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC on a budget and I have a couple of questions. I have a Gigabyte A520M K V2 motherboard and I'm planning to use an AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor that has integrated graphics for now. I'm trying to figure out what graphics cards are compatible with my motherboard. Can someone tell me if I should go for an AMD or Nvidia card?

Yes, any graphics card will fit as long as it's PCIe. Just keep in mind that using Gen3 might affect performance depending on the card you choose. Higher-end cards with more VRAM could experience a noticeable hit in certain scenarios.
Overall, any graphics card you consider should be compatible. Just make sure it fits your budget and check local availability. The performance might differ based on the card's specs and how they interact with the Gen3 slot.
Any modern GPU should work since they all use the PCIe standard. Your motherboard supports PCIe Gen3, which isn’t the latest, but that’s okay—it won’t significantly impact performance for most cards. You could even use a top-tier card like an RTX 5090; it would only lose about 4% performance when plugged into a Gen3 slot.
