You should be able to utilize the iGPU (3200G) after updating the BIOS on your motherboard. The information suggests compatibility with the 3000 series, so checking the specific requirements for your model will confirm it works.
The BIOS update notes don’t mention it. The 3200G is running at its QVL and the GPU speed is listed as well, so it seems unlikely the iGPU isn’t functioning with that CPU and board setup. I’d suggest going with a straightforward B450 board—something like a B450 Aorus M would also be fine.
A B450 board offers advantages over an A320 by allowing processor overclocking, even without additional I/O or features, making it potentially useful later. It also provides a greater likelihood of supporting future processors. For example, a hypothetical 4400G that you might consider upgrading to has a better chance of compatibility with the B450 compared to the A320.
Why does the video stop working after a BIOS update? It seems like a known issue that shouldn't be present in the latest version.
