This is my first time going with AMD, I'm not sure which motherboard to get, or if I even need one. I've got an ASUS TUF B450m AM4 but I've heard that this will not work due to the PCIe not being 4.0.

Does anyone know if this is true? If this is true, which board is a similar price that will work?

 

Thank you.

it will work with your current board, but not ideally. your current board has pretty crap vrms and they might overheat or struggle to power the 5800x.

this would be my recomendation: MSI MAG B550M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

How likely would this be to have these issues occur?

it will run at stock, might not be able to boost properly all the time and you won't be able to overclock on your existing b450 tuf
