B550 has PCI-E 4.0 which 5600x supports and best bang for the buck chipset imo. There's limitation to the PCI-E 4.0 such as only one m.2 slot supports it (other is 3.0).
Honestly, there's a lot of great B550 boards and it's best to narrow down based on your feature preferences (wifi, USB slots, etc)

this one doesn't look too bad, on sale for $20 bucks rn.
You could hold out (and pay more) for AM5 stuff later this year, but if you can find a good deal on a motherboard, I think you'll find that a 5600X system is a pretty good value.
