Why ITX, what case will you build in? 

B450 pr B550 is up to you. I'd look for what kind of features you need on the board, they will differ somewhat. B550 generally offers newer features and better memory compatibility if you want to use faster memory. That being said, B450 will be good enough as well. Both chipsets will work out of the box with your cpu if you buy them new. If you get a used board, you need to update the bios first, if it is B450.

I would just run a B550, as it has a bigger feature set and you wouldn't have to worry about updating your BiOS or anything.

You can find ITX B550 boards for less than $170.

If you bought the CPU new, AMD offers a program where they will lend you a CPU to update your bios.

will that apply if i buy it from, best buy for example

[RONOTHAN##]

Yeah, you just need to have a receipt. They run the program through their RMA department, so you need to have a proof of purchase in order to use it.

Not paper ones, but you should get an invoice. You should have gotten email confirming your purchase, that classifies as a receipt.
