It all hinges on the phrasing. Clarification comes at a cost of x570 over b450. It's quite particular about how things are said.

I now have a clearer understanding. With a budget of $200, my call would be around $550. I plan to upgrade later. I noticed the X570 boards are quite pricey, though I’ve seen some bad reviews about the TUF GAMING version—the cheapest and more affordable option in that range. Thanks for your time!

X570 offers greater chances for upgrading compared to B550 since it includes PCIe4 throughout the entire board (unless they cut corners), which could extend its lifespan. The weakest X570 models might even lag behind mid-range B550s. Details on how B550 achieves its PCIe4&3 benefits and the speed improvements of future GPU cards will be crucial for deciding upgrade feasibility and compatible add-ons. If you intend to swap the CPU and install extra cards, it might be wiser to opt for a B450 and simply replace the CPU/motherboard later when better options appear. It’s one of those trade-offs where only half a dozen factors really matter.
