I'd suggest a b450 board instead just to ensure compatibly with your processor

agreed, if you are going with a 2nd gen ryzen CPU it is recommended to go with a B450

Is that all you would recommend changing?

If you can afford it I'd suggest 16gb memory but if not you can add it later

I can't afford it now, but that was my plan. But if that's it, I am going to start buying before sales end?

Yep that's the only "must change" (the board)

it would be best. if you get that B350 motherboard and it doesn't have the right BIOS version then you are stuck getting another CPU just to update the BIOS

Thank you both so so much

It’s worth noting that buying another 1x8gb later does carry a small risk of having issues. Only RAM bought as a matched kit is guaranteed to work together without issue.
