Can't address that exact board, but definitely a positive boost for the case. I'm confident it's great!

For a similar price range: Here’s what you’ll find on PCPartPicker:

- Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-A for gaming ATX AM4 ($163 at B&H) – Total $163
- Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 ($174 at B&H)
- Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 ($144.99 on Amazon)
- Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX AM4 ($179.98 at B&H)

Each listing includes shipping, taxes, and any available discounts. These picks were gathered on May 31, 2021.

If you’re looking at the B550 Strix A and F models, they’re essentially the same board but differ in color. The Strix A tends to be priced slightly lower for certain reasons. The Gaming Edge WiFi and Tomahawk are similar except the latter lacks WiFi. The Gaming Edge only has WiFi.

For the MSI B550 ATX AM4, it’s comparable to the Aorus Pro V1 but features an internal Type C header. All these options should comfortably support your 5900X. Just note that you might need to update your BIOS to recognize the AGESA Code for Zen 3 CPUs—though most boards support a BIOS Flashback update, so you can often upgrade without installing a new CPU if needed.

I own an Asus Strix X570-E Gaming without issues. However, it costs more in the USA compared to other regions, I'm not sure about the reason. If you don't require all M.2 slots for PCI 4.0, opting for a solid B550 would work well.

I recall hearing some concerns about the LAN functionality on the B550-A model. It’s unclear if these problems have been resolved, and it might be linked to the reduced pricing.

The LAN problems appeared on both the F and A boards because they share the same motherboard. Most of the fixes have been completed, though AFAIK.
