NO. 6th/7th Intel Core processor use LGA 1151 revision 1 socket. B550 is LGA 1200, which has NOT backward compatibility with legacy platforms.

I think it is very difficult to run. Maybe you can lower your graphics settings in gaming to make games run more smoothly. But you can't enjoy it too much.

The main pros of B550 include PCIe 4.0 for graphics card and SSD, support 2.5G of Lan speed and WIFI 6. But frankly speaking, these improvement doesn't have much effect on actual performance and practicality. I prefer to B450m. But if the price is almost the same, B550m will be a better choice.

It doesn't matter. It just prompts you that x570 needs additional CPU power connector in the case of extreme overclocking or large video card current draws, which rarely happens. Corsair CV 650W is powerful enough.

Thanks for your advice bro.

Im building a pc and I don't know which RAM brand to choose. ADATA? Corsair? Kingston? If the rams have the same specs, does ram brand matter?

It is so complicated. Maybe you can try to select UEFI boot mode or download a new ISO file. This post may can help you.FIX: Windows Cannot Install Required Files 0x8007025D

The differences between A320 and B450 include overclocking, multi-GPU, VRM, PCIe Lanes. a320 chipset is an entry-end chipset while b450 is a mainstream choice for mid-range pc. More details can be found in this post. Hope it help. AMD/AM4 Chipsets Comparison: A320, B350, B450, X370, X470, X399...

Now I'm intended to build a PC but I'm in a dilemma. I have no idea which CPU and mobo to choose. Is any improvement in Z490 compared with Z390?

You can check it has M.2 or not first. I checked B250 specs on the gigabyte website. It said it has.

Maybe it is broken in track and you can use some utility to check. HD tune is highly recommended.

You can force format it by Command Line and then create new volume in Disk Management.
