This leaves you plenty of room for an OS (if you need one), More RAM, an SSD upgrade or even a better graphics card.

The only thing is that the motherboard may need to have a BIOS update if it didn't have one from the factory but you can contact AMD and get a upgrade kit sent to you for free to do so.

Have you built a rig before? Terms above should not be that unfamiliar---unless i am missing something..........

Nope ive been wanting to build one for awhile but I'm pretty sure if I can rewire an entire car I thought id be able to do this at least

There's plenty of videos available on youtube by many big computer youtubers on how to build a computer.

I'm not sure what you didn't understand about my post. If its about the BIOS all I mean is you may have to update the BIOS (firmware) of the motherboard to be compatible with the new 2nd generation Ryzen CPUs. Most likely unless you get old stock the board will be up to date when you buy it, but if not then you will need https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx to do so.

You could buy one of the newer motherboard model x470 but they are more expensive.
