Opt for a refurbished B550 instead, as those Chinese models often lack usable BIOS. A used B3/450 works well as a midrange board now—prices around $50 for models like Tomahawk, Pro4, or Strix F. PCIe Gen4 isn’t worth the effort.
For the B450 with a bottleneck, go for a mid-range CPU like an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 paired with a decent GPU such as an RTX 4060 or similar. This setup balances performance and power efficiency.
