To be honest, an X570 wouldn't really matter unless you're into overclocking and maxing out the potential of your chip. An X470 would do just fine if not almost similarly to a X570 but with a lower price and even a B450 would be a great option for Ryzen 5...

Im just tryna find a board that i dont need another cpu to update the bios  and i can just use the ryzen 5 3600 without updating the bios or by updating it with a usb

With MSI Boards you can update the BIOS using only the dedicated port and flash button on the rear I/O. No need for a CPU.

I'm not sure with other boards but with MSI, all of their modern lineup have this feature. This way, you'll get a board with all the features and future compatibility at a much more reasonable price.

Is there a chance i dont need a cpu to update this board and i can just use it out of the box? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/wb7v6h/asrock-b450-steel-legend-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-steel-legend

I'd go with the MSI Tomahawk or mortar depending on size requirements ATX/m-ATX

Not all of the MSI boards have that feature. And other companies have that feature too. Someone made a list of all the boards that are compatible with ryzen 3000 and have that feature but I don't remeber where I saw it. Its out there somewhere though lol.

 

I have the b450 tomahawk and it works fine. Probably not the best but after a bundle discount at micro center it only cost me like 65 bucks. There are probably cheaper options though. Jayz2cents just made a video where he built a whole computer for 600 bucks and it performed remarkably well.

 

If you just want to drop the processor in and go then the gigabyte auros elite x570 seems like a decent board for 200 bucks if you can find one in stock.
