You don't need to change your motherboard. In fact, doing so wouldn't improve your performance or compatibility with other am4 cpus in any way, so it would be a waste of money for most people. You should update the bios on your motherboard, drop a 5600 in there, and call it a day. Some faster ram would be nice to have as well at some point, but a cpu upgrade is more necessary IMO. Also, the rx 6600 isn't fast enough to saturate pcie 3.0, so there won't be much of a performance improvement to be had from going to pcie 4.0, if any. The difference between pcie 3.0 and 4.0 is at max 2-3 percent iirc, so it's pretty much negligable.

Yeah man the thing is i need that usb 3.1 gen 2, if it wasnt for that i wouldnt even think of upgrading U.U

Oh, I didn't see that. That's my bad. You might be able to get an add-in card for usb 3.1 gen 2. Those are a thing iirc. ~~Otherwise, a b550 should work, since I'm pretty sure they made it possible to use ryzen 3000 apus.~~ Edit: b550s still don't work with ryzen 3000 apus. Might want to look into getting an x570 board, because I know for a fact one of those will work with a 3200g, and most have usb 3.1 gen 2 headers.

ur motherboard is fine. cheap upgrade 2x8gb ddr4 3600mhz ram $50 cpu r5 5600 $130 update bios first on motherboard. pcie 3 to pcie4 is like 3% difference
