I'm pretty sure I know the answer but with this setup would I be able to properly swap my GPU for one of the new RTX series.

MB-MSI Performance GAMING AMD X470 Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 Onboard Graphics CFX ATX Motherboard (X470 GAMING PLUS)
RAM-32GB DDR4
HDs-2TB M.2, 500GB M.2 for OS
CPU- Ryzen 7 2700 3.2GHZ
GPU- Vega 56 Red Dragon
 
I mean....an RTX3090 is far different than an RTX3060 (upcoming) from a power supply standpoint.

There's certainly no LIMITATION of what GPU you can use because of your CPU and mobo (if that's what you're implying).

What monitor do you have? (resolution/refresh rate).

The real question/concern here is:
  • Can your PSU safely power the GPU
  • Does it make sense to pair xxx GPU with the monitor you have (don't buy an RTX3090 for a 1080p monitor)
