Your motherboard is already compatible with the Ryzen 3 2200G and should support the Ryzen 5 2400G without needing a pre-flash or update. Just ensure your BIOS is up to date for optimal performance.

This calculation will resolve the box. By chance, why do you think you're moving up to a 2400g version?

I own a 1060 GPU but don’t have enough funds. Cheers!

The main distinction lies in performance gains: the R5 2400 offers a modest 0.2GHz boost over the R3 2200g. Hyper-Threading is present in the R5 unless you opt for the enhanced IGPU version.

I wasn't aware of this. Should I consider upgrading to a new CPU alongside my GPU, and if yes, what options are best?

A genuine boost would require a 3400G, though costs and stock will influence this. It might be wiser to skip the 2400G given your GPU setup, as gains will likely be minimal.

Thanks, but it seems like you're thinking about updating your BIOS for a 3rd generation device.

What options do you have for a used Ryzen 5 2600? (or 12nm 1600, the 1600 "AF") These are second generation CPUs that work with the same BIOS versions. The 2600 offers a faster architecture compared to the 2200G and 2400G. Please use the quote button so we can review your answers.

The 2600 costs £175, while the 1600 is £140.

The 1600 AF is a solid option, but you're noticing varying prices on pcpartpicker.com. You might want to look at the alternatives listed there.
