Went with a MSI B550 Tomahawk ($170) mostly for front USB-C and overall great features.
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.
It's fine. Ambient temperatures matter of course. But I've never had any thermal throttling with any type of workload with the including cooler.
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.

While I think the stock cooler is perfectly fine for stock usage, there's great tower coolers for value pricing. This Deepcool, the ID-Cooling SE-224-XT is another great solution. This chip won't require super high end cooling, and sound more so than anything make aftermarket more tempting.
