The MSI B550 Tomahawk and Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro V2 are both solid choices.
Both models offer solid performance, but the MSI B550 Tomahawk tends to provide a more robust build and better cooling options, while the Gigabyte Aorus B550 Pro V2 is praised for its value and affordability. Your choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
The X570 is a powerful motherboard, but I don't have personal preferences. You might want to check reviews and specifications for the version you're considering.
Choose the x570 model that matches your budget. Check user reviews and look into possible issues on Google before purchasing. If you're confident about the 5950x, consider investing more in the motherboard for $200–$250. But are you certain? Having 16 cores is quite a lot.
For this setup, having 16 cores works well. I suggest choosing a X570 model. The B550 lacks complete PCIe 4.0 compatibility, though you might need it later. Some boards only offer 4 SATA ports, unlike the higher-end X570 which supports 6 or 8. With an X570, you can run two GPUs simultaneously at full PCIe 4.0 performance.
