Depending on what games you want to play on I would actually split your 200 dollars between a new cpu and gpu. A new Ryzen 1600 costs about 100 dollars leaving you probably enough to pick up a rx 570 maybe even a used 580 if you shopped around. Dont think that athlon will pair well with a stand alone 200 dollar gpu imo.

RX570 4GB costs $120 in the USA.

Your CPU is a bit weak.

Ok. Thank you for the advice. I think I will save up a little more money just to be safe.

I know it's not the best cpu but at the time I needed to build a new computer within a budget. I will save up a bit more money for a better cpu and graphics card. I appreciate the advice.

The only pc game I really play is American Truck Simulator and Nascar 2003.

If i were you i'd wait for benchmarks of the new AMD RX 5500 and RX 5500 XT that were announced yesterday !
Give it few extra days their prices are benchmark will hit the market soon.

Personally, I'd wait until I could afford to upgrade both the processor and the graphics card. The more you save, the better the components you can get. For around $300 you could get a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GT 1050Ti.
