Outside of cooling, is anything I need to consider about using this lower end motherboard with a higher end CPU like the 5900x/5950x?
System will already have:
DDR4 16GB 3600MHz (2x8GB sticks)
Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler
850w PSU
GTX1080 (actively looking to upgrade)

Curious what GPUs you'll be using?

(There is 1 of those 2060 cards open box left on amazon btw $246.39, its not the 12 gb model but that one is only like 4% faster)
Double Edit: Cancelled the original 2060 order and then ordered an Open Box 2060 KO for $196 on amazon
Yes the CPU was introduced July 2019, and the B450 is pretty basic -- but you'd be hard pressed to find a factory new CPU and Motherboard parts from a national brick and mortar retailer for cheaper...right now. This sale brings what would be considered a current mid-range system (without the GPU) down to the price of a budget build while leaving the flexibility to upgrade to a 16 core processor should you be able to afford it.
If you're sticking with 1080p resolution and not editing multimedia content.
