Gigabyte models B450 Aorus Elite V2 and B550 M DS3H AC B450 seem more affordable compared to the B550, but the B550 includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth whereas the B450 is so budget-friendly that adding a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth PCIe card would make both boards similarly priced. I also discovered another motherboard, the ASRock B450M Steel Legend M-ATX, edited April 23, 2025 by dhyan12s.
It's not crucial, but if you require Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, choose the model with them built in.
It might depend on the CPU model, as the B450 may not have full support by default
