Hello,

Gigabyte B550 GAMING X's price is low right now, should I go for it and use it with a 5800X?
I can also get an Asus PRIME B550M-A Wi-Fi or MSI MAG B550M BAZOOKA.
The prices are very close and it is going to be my last decision.

@Djoza In the past, some people said that if I am going to get a cheap B550 motherboard for a 5800X, I will face with some problems but I don't know what are those. Do you have some ideas about it?

Possibly because of the poor VRM.
But if you dont plan to OC this cpu, you are all fine.

All 3 would need a BIOS update for your 5800X.

I think that means I won't be able to use it without updating BIOS. But do I need another AMD CPU which I can plug that into the motherboard and then update the BIOS or is there a way to do that without another CPU? I am going to get that from Amazon TR, I don't think that I can update its BIOS with finding another AMD CPU.

Correct.
I am only aware of GIGABYTE's Q Flash Plus button, which lets you update the BIOS without having a CPU or RAM installed, but they only have it for their AORUS lineup.
Gaming X is not from that lineup.
One thing you can check is if your local pc shop has a 3rd gen ryzen cpu, so they can update the BIOS for you.

If the Gaming X version has no update BIOS button which let us make the update without a CPU or RAM, I would prefer to get another motherboard that has this feature. Does the other motherboards that I mentinoned has this feature, any of them?

It would be really better for me if I would get that cheaper Gigabyte. I would have a chance to change my PSU too, or maybe get a better cooling, etc. What would happen if I would use that cheap Gigabyte B550M-S2H with 5800X?
