keeping in mind that I will be overclocking my CPU and Adding a GPU in future. I want my PC to be as cheap as possible.

There you go...that's one list. Just go as cheap as you feel comfortable; I'd go no cheaper than Asrock's B450 PRo-4 F or MSI's B450 Pro-VDH MAX myself. They all allow "overclocking" to varying degrees, however pointless it may be on most Ryzen CPU's.

Yes, B550 would be 'better' but you wanted 'cheapest possible' and, with a BIOS update, most B450 will support even Ryzen 5000 processors.

I have actually been looking into motherboards today because my little bro wants a gaming PC.

A good cheap option I found is the Gigabyte B550M DS3H. I am no expert on the matter but It was recommended here https://www.gizmofusion.com/best-am4-motherboard.

Here is another good guide which may help https://www.trustedreviews.com/best/best-amd-motherboard-3607281

As cheap as possible but it should have the following features:

1- a slot for GPU
2- support overclocking

Thanks a lot👍, but why you said it would be pointless to overclock amd CPUs.

Because their turbo boost is good enough not to make a significant difference between a stock and a overclocked chip.

Is their any kind of Boost for thE igpu?

Yes, it has.
It boost's to 3.8GHz i believe.

Man!! 3.80 ghz is insanely high its base clock is only 1400 megahertz and don't think it's 3.8 gigahertz.

Baseclock: 3.6GHz
Max Boost Clock: 4.00GHz
Its even crazier that i thought.

Bro you got a little confused there, 3.6 ghz is base clock of the the "CPU" not the Vega 11 "GPU" who's clock speed is only 1400 megahertz with 2 GB of default shared memory.

OOHHHH you meant the GPU clock.
Sry xD
3200G has Vega 8 graphics, not 11.
Its frequency is 1250MHz, according to this https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-3200g
