Do I need to worry about upgrading motherboard with GPU if its old or will it work okay just buying a new GPU?

    That’s an AM4 slot motherboard then! I’d look up the latest motherboard BIOS update, and then throw in the best used CPU you can too. The 450M chipset can support up to Ryzen 5000 series.

    A 3800X (~100 CAD used) Ryzen or better is still plenty powerful paired with a modern GPU. Zen 2/3 is way better than the first gen for IPC.

    5000 series are still pretty expensive however.
