Any second gen ryzen processor will work with any B450 motherboard

It should be fine. It's a Ryzen board and Max means it's 3000+ ready. The non-max version would require a bios update but will run a 2600 out of the box.

Yeah but will the 2600 be able to reach full potential or will it be limited in some way

I know if should work but I don't know how limited it may be mainly due to it only having a 4 pin for CPU power

The board will run a 3600.. Your 2600 won't reach that high. I'd be more worried about your Video card throttling your performance more than your mobo. That or your ram.

It's fine to over think. If you're worried about power just check the specs. The AM4 uses less w than AM3. Your new one will be 65w TDR and go up to about 90w with out of the box boosting.

The weak VRM of that motherboard will lead to some power throttling when in demanding CPU tasks. Not sure what your budget is or what country you're in so I can't really make a good recommendation.

It's a Tier C rating, just barely sure, so it should handle a 2600 just fine. Depending on how much airflow his tower has.

I think you think that I have the b450 pro max I actually have the b450m pro max which I believe may be an f tier
