So, im doing an mITX build and i have the option of a few boards. The ones i was recommended were the following.
B450-i rog strix($120)
B450-i gaming plus ac($130)
X470-i rog strix($209)
I would like to not spend the $209 for the strix x470 but if i have to i will. Im wondering whether or not these b450 boards can handle the 2700x, and maybe some slight overclocking(maybe to 3.9ghz.) or should i use PBO(or neither)

A B450 board is able to run the 2700x. But it would be pushing most B450 boards to their limits so OCing would be limited. I would also recommend an X470 board for that CPU.
I'd check reviews of mlTX X470 boards and find one that performs well and has the features you want and/or need.
