On the MSI website, it states that only the Gen 3 model is compatible with that board

It shouldn’t be an issue. I’m not sure you’ll reach the full 3.9 GB/s on the PCI-e 3.0 x4 slot. There might be a better reason for choosing that specific motherboard—other B550 models are widely available.

It would function still, though not at Gen 4 velocities.

Not near that cost, or they lack Q-Flash support. My system's motherboard budget exceeds $120. There aren't any better alternatives with matching BIOS.

The closest option to the ASUS TUF is about $20 higher. Your B550-A Pro remains in stock for $139, which is a solid offer since it includes a dedicated flash button and shares VRMs with some X470 models. If it hasn't arrived yet, consider adjusting your order to a pricier model. If not, you're safe—this board will function just fine.

haven't placed the order yet. I bought an X570 from Newegg used for $100, but it didn't support QFLL and the BIOS wasn't compatible. I asked to place a new order, but it came from a third-party seller.
