If you are willing to spend 100$ you might as well just get the latest B550, I saw M Pro4 selling for 95$ not too long ago.
Not only you have PCIe4 , better memory compatibility but in the future if you upgrade to a 5000 series you also get SAM! for higher graphics performance if you one day have a 6000 GPU.

DO NOT DO THAT!!!


the b550 is not out of the box compatible with the 2nd gen ryzen processors (the one that you want)


You'll be needing either; A320, b350,x370,b450,x470 or A520.... the others will not work



As for a specific moddle, i would go with the asus tuf b450 pro or the Asrock b450 Steel legend they both very good for the budget and come with 4 dimm slots for ram and multiple slots for pci-e express along with a safeslot for your gpu

Not compatible with the 2nd gen ryzen processors....

fyi: the vega graphics edition is named one gen ahead... so the 3400g is actually a 2nd gen

it´s the R5 3600 compatible with the B550?

Yes

As people have said, the 3400G is not compatible with the B550 motherboards but the 3600 is. However, if you do buy the 3600 and a B550, you will also need to buy a GPU as it does not have integrated graphics like the 3400G. The MSI B450 MAX range of motherboards will work with a 3400G straight from the box and some of them are pretty cheap.
