I finally got my new RX 580 8gb and now I would like to upgrade my motherboard and CPU. I found a Ryzen 3 2200g and A320M-K for a good price but I'm not sure if the CPU is the best for a RX 580, any recommendation for a CPU that is not too expensive?
Ideally a cpu that can run BF5 in ultra at 60 fps at least

As a side question; should I get a new Ram too? I have a Kingston ddr3 8gb
 
Solution
I have tried hard to love APUs but in a time where i can get a used equivalent card for $30-50 they don't make sense unless the cost is lower or equal to the one without the iGPU in the first place. (which kinda defeats the purpose).

The bare minimum you should be aiming for is an R5-1400, at max a 1600
(Not a 1700 cuz at that point its wiser to consider newer options).

Lastly, ofc you will also need to buy newer DDR4 memory as the Ryzen platform/boards use DDR4.

If you want to however consider used parts you could get away with a 4th Gen Xeon and an H81 board. That way you wont need to change the ram either.

Thanks for the response! I think is better to get the ryzen 5 and buy the new ram
