MSI A320m-a Pro

just get a rx 570 (since there pretty cheap, and offer good performance for 1080p gaming) for the time being, your setup is more than enough to handle every game.

If you were to upgrade anything in this list, it should really be the motherboard. A cheap A320 motherboard to a b550 motherboard will not provide you more FPS, but provide you with more features, better VRMs, and more upgradability

Thanks, I was thinking of getting an open box B450 because it was cheaper, the B550 is probably better for "future proofing" and support for future CPU's and all of that.

If the price gap is not that large, B550 is likely better. Though don’t be surprised of Ryzen 6000 doesn’t support b550 because it needs ddr5 and a new socket.

Why shouldn't I just wait for the motherboard for DDR5 and Ryzen 6000 to come out? It would be much better because I will keep it for quite a while

That is true, if you are not going to upgrade your cpu before ryzen 6000 you are better off saving your money until then.

I might just wait then get a gpu and new ssd, then wait till Ryzen 6000, new motherboard and new cpu maybe

For 1080p the best thing is to find a 2nd hand GTX 1070(Ti). Would've said 1080 2-3 months ago, but now they cost more than when they were new. The prices of the GPUs are just beyond insanity at this point. This config will get you to the next AM5 platform with DDR5 and all the new goodies from team red.
