Any lga1151 motherboard can support the G4560.
The cheapest will be one that has a H110 chipset, but that comes with a caveat:
To run kaby lake G4560, you need an updated bios.
Newly made H110 motherboards will have the update already applied. That should be motherboards made in 2017.
If the bios update needs to be applied, one must use an older 6th gen cpu to do the job. Sort of catch 22. Have a local shop use a 6th gen cpu to do the job if the bios has not been updated.
If you find a B250 based motherboard, you are good, but they cost a bit more.

I might add that you will need DDR4 ram also.

I would not spend anything to try to upgrade an obsolete and weak performing Athlon or FX system.

What do you have now?
Make/model of cpu, motherboard, gpu, psu...?
What is your budget.

$200 should buy you a kaby lake replacement cpu/mobo/ram that is stronger and upgradeable.

Here is a list of the processors that your motherboard will support.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2A58M-HD2-rev-3x#support-cpu

Unfortunately an APU was a poor choice if you ever wanted to upgrade.
You buy a APU for the excellent integrated graphics.
But, there are no real good upgrades, particularly for a gamer.
If you install a superior discrete graphics card, you will have thrown away the big advantage of the APU.
Then, you are left with a relatively weak cpu. Most games depend on only a few fast cores.

Your A4-4020 is a dual core with a passmark rating of 1835 and a single thread rating of 1157.

One possible upgrade, for example might be a $140 A10-7850K with a passmark rating of 5500 and a single thread rating of 1571.

By comparison, a $65 kaby lake G4560 has a rating of 5108 and a single thread rating of 1993.

For other comparisons use google with the processor and passmark to find others.

Once you start pushing into the $130+ range for an outdated CPU, you should consider going with a Kaby Lake Pentium, motherboard, and RAM.

You might be struggling for PUBG - I believe it might require more than a GTX 750 will be able to provide, as well as more than the available CPUs for your MB.

What's your budget?
