I’m planning a black friday build.

[Excelsior!]

A prebuilt hp pavilion with a ryzen 3 2200G processor

Rx 550 gpu

300 watt power supply.

If i upgrade the gpu to an Rx 580 and the power supply to 450 watts will I need to upgrade the processor as well??

You might experience a little bottleneck, but it shouldn’t be too noticeable. 

what’s your total budget for this build?

Always keep a budget in mind. Just because you have your eye on a store bough new build doesn't mean that something better won't come along. I got a 4770k, 32gb ram, 256gb Evo, 780ti, 850w gold computer for $100 off craigslist earlier this year. Hell of a lot cheaper and faster than even just a 2200g.

Why not aim for an i5/older i7 and at least a 1060? I think you can get a decent older CPU/RAM/MOBO combo for $250 and leave you $500 for the GPU/SSD/PSU and case.

That, get that if you want new and kick ass. Older parts can yield some better performance but you're really at the mercy of Lady Luck and whatever ends up in your lap.
