I'm not a mining expert, but from your setup (integrated video card - I think that other components of your PC are on middle level or lower) I have huge doubts that something good will come from it. I think you will kill your hardware power supply and video card faster than you would earn your first cent.

Use basic mining calculator and just calculate when at least your expenses will equal your profit and predict, will you be able to run mining non-stop for all that time.

I always thought that if you do mining, you must invest a lot from the start and only from half a year you will feel your first returns from investment. And mining with several cards, one asic or basic home mining is not worth spending time and money.

I did that in the past with some altcoins but it was never very profitable. Only when you got very cheap energy it can be profitable.

READ the 1 post that is pinned at the top of this section. Mainly point-3.
This area is BTC only and you cannot mine BTC with a PC. Period.  Crap altcoins sure but go the the altcoin area for that stuff.

A Ryzen CPU is best for RandomX Algorithm, you can mine Monero with the CPU and that GPU I'm not so sure, you will need to download Nicehash software to find the best most profitable Algorithm for the GPU
