Good, yes. The best, no. But a solid mainstream board none the less.

It's solid choice. It's a mid-end B450 board, which is what I wold recommend using for people who are thinking of overclocking on a budget as anything below that is risky. Good stuff!

Yea some MSI boards can be a bit buggy in my experience. I always get Asus or Asrock. I dont have much experience with Gigabyte to say.

I suspect the folks that had issues may have had other problems. I've had just about every manufacturer's board at one time or another including a AM4 MSI board. No problems as long as your board has a BIOS version that is new enough to recognize the CPU that you have installed.

Yes, so technically there are 1st Gen and 2nd Gen CPUs by Ryzen
The 1600 is 1st Gen.
The 2600 is 2nd Gen.

Usually you need to get the board for it.
B350 boards for 1st Gen.
B450 boards for 2nd Gen.
However, with the proper BIOS updates, you can use these boards with any CPU.
