Hi forum! I'm trying to upgreade some of my specs and since in my country (Argentina) there aren't that many options I can't really pick one (and prices vary A LOT).
the hardware I already own are:

GPU: MSI Geforce rtx 3080 ti gaming gaming X trio
RAM: Corsair vengance Vengeange pro 2x8 gb 3600 mhz
Storage: Corsair MP510 240 gb (windows is here), samsung black SN770 1 TB and hdd (might replace for normal ssd)
PSU: asus rog strix 1000W gold
CPU: amd ryzen 5 2600x (here is a clue! I'm aiming to upgreade to a 5600x or 5700x if I can find a good deal, BUT I do NOT aim for the time to do overclocking)

So my Mobos option are the following:
- Msi mpg X570s Carbon Max
- Asus Rog Strix B550-f Gaming
- Msi Mpg B550 Gaming plus
- Asus Rog Strix B450-f Gaming II (this is kind of the budget option I know)
- Asus Rog Strix B550-a Gaming (I really like this one for it's looks since I'm aiming to do a black and white -mostly white- set up and this is my whitiest option without going super cheap or super expensive)

All this options are within budget... Now you might say "Hey go for AM5! It's more powerfull and whatsoever" and here my trustworthy internet nerdy folks is when the reality of Argentina makes surface... going for AM5 with our brutal inflation makes every part like double it's costs so AM4 is as far as I can go for now sadly
So that's what I need help with now guys!
If you need any further information just ask me! Remember I'm not planning on overclocking the CPU, but it might be an option way furthur down the line!

PS: sorry I nearly forgot to mention my cooler!!! I'm running on an Artic Freezer 34 Esorts Duo!! Best I can afford since decent AiOs cost as much or even more than this mentioned mobos

I'd just pick any B550 chipset board and call it a day.

Yeah, that was like my first mindset, but as far as I researched the main difference between 450s and 550s are the vrms, and maybe if I don't go for overclocking that might not be a big deal issue, and then I saw that Asus Rog Strix B550-a Gaming wasn't as good as the other options, but maybe those other options are better if you go for a #min-max" build
