I have a 90PA06Q0-M0XBN0 Asus Evo2 M52BC AMD Desktop Motherboard and I've been looking for an upgrade for my CPU. I've been eyeing the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU for a while but I'm not sure whether or not it'll be a good fit for my motherboard. Also I'm also looking to get a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Wind force OC 2 gb graphics card, will there be any bottle necking?

No.

From what I can find, that model is a stripped down variant of this:

Maybe Rev1.

Anyway, it's an AM3 socket - not compatible with Ryzen (AM4) or DDR4 (uses DDR3).

What CPU do you have currently?

An AMD FX 4300. If the Ryzen 3 1200 is not compatible with my motherboard then may you please find me a good gaming CPU that is.

Unfortunately there are no good options for AM3 platform.
You have to change your motherboard also.
Either - to Intel last gen or Ryzen platform.
