Yeah.. I'm not doing heavy video editing.
I want to build a rig that'll last me 5 years or so. I'm thinking I use my current SSD for now and add something faster later.
Good point on AMD. ...

Yes you should keep your SSD and get a b550 or x570 with AMD

They are both pci 4 the x570 and b550 are almost the same. The x570 mostly just has more usb ports or m.2 slots but both perform equally under normal situations (non overclocked systems)

Get X570 MSI Tomahawk and it is a good board . If you need to upgrade for more cores in few years later with limited budget , that board can handle new Zen3 16 core pretty well for sure.

Another easy way to say no, if you have intel, pcie 4.0 offers no benefit. While some z490 boards support it, none of the processors do. You'd have to wait for 11th gen.

It's a niche to be sure.. virtually no laptops can fully use 4.0 and only AMD DESKTOP MOBOS use 4.0 but that's partly Intel's fault. Typical 1tb 3.0 is in the $80-$130 range so not double but this is...
