At exactly 600, both of these will easily handle a 3900x.

at the end i was able to bring my budget higher and am thinking of going for the Gigabyte-B550M-AORUS-PRO

The b550m pro vdh does have better vrm than it, but if you are limited to this one, it'll handle a 3900x, but if you're not limited to it, the pro vdh is better.
