Well you can already take 30 bucks off the saving. The m.2 wifi/bluetooth was garbage so I ended up buying and installing a new one. It's not bad though. It saved me a bunch of time in picking and installing every individual part. Now I'm just upgrading as needed.

Well I bought it with a 3700X so I assume I have the Erica board.

Man, if they really used an x570 to make this "B550A", it's even more underutilized than I thought. Jesus.

It's B550A. It's a B450 with some software nonsense to allow for pci 4.0ish and it's only sold to OEMs. GN did a video on it.

I'm not sure if this is forbidden or not, but I bought a prebuilt. It was $200 cheaper than what I would have built myself, so I don't care. Anyway, I was poking around CPU-Z and saw that it labeled the chipset as X570. Seeing as how I bought this as a deal, I was fairly surprised, so I googled the model number, and HP's website lists it has a B550A. What do you think is causing the confusion? Which should I believe? I'm not really sure it matters by the way. It's not a particularly high end motherboard either way.
