Budget: B450 or X470 (check for CPU compatibility, see caveats at the bottom)
More expensive: B550 or X570 board
B550 is most popular; good value overall and PCIE4 support. ASUS, MSI, ASROCK are the most popular brands. Features to look for if they matter to you: multiple M.2 slots (useful for SSDs, wifi, bluetooth cards), and USB 3.x headers for cases with USB-C ports.
The difference between old and new is not huge. Biggest difference is PCIE 3 vs 4 in the newer boards. This will not greatly affect performance for components you buy today. It upgrades the bus speed between your components. Today, only the best SSDs can exceed PCIE3 speeds, and video cards show no improvement. In the future, PCIE 4 will allow video cards and SSDs to be faster. Keep in mind that if you want a future gen processor, you'll need a new mobo anyway... socket AM4 is now at the end of its lifecycle.
B440/X470 is PCIE 3. B550 (the most popular mobo series) has a limited number of PCIE4 channels that can be used at once, good enough for most people unless you're adding a lot of extra drives. X570 is full PCIE4, but has some other drawbacks that I can't recall
Caveat: If you're getting a 400 series board, be sure it states it supports Zen 3. Also you may need to update the BIOS for that support, and if they don't have "Flashback" (update without a CPU installed) feature, you have to plug in an older compatible processor to update. AMD has a free CPU loaner program but I hear it's a bit of a pain to use.
Note: it also has a flash BIOS button as you will have to update the bios for this cpu.
