Hi, my neice is wanting to upgrade her PC, she currently has the following, and I have some spares that I dont need. My query is will these parts be ok with her motherboard or does it need upgrading? Also any suggestions for upgrades are welcome (£200 budget). She mainly plays CSGO, Fortnight & Valorant.

Current
Ryzen 3 3200G
ASUS Prime A320M-K
GTX 1650
6GB DDR4-2400
Corsair VS350 350W
Realtek RTL8192EE Wifi PCIe

My Spares
Vengance DDR 32g (2x16)
Gigabyte RTX 360Ti
Corsair CV650PSU
 
It looks like a pretty basic motherboard, but should be ok with your spares. What speed is the RAM as you may be limited to 3200Mhz?

I would probably get a better CPU, something like a Ryzen 5600/5700X. You may need to update bios first.

Should be alright, but likely to have a very old BIOS on that board.

I agree with freddie about the CPU, a 3600 or newer would help a lot. 3200G is a weak gaming CPU today.
 
Thanks, If I get her the Ryzen 5600 is there a moterboard that is a decent upgrade you can suggest as well please?
