The difference between the 5600X and the 5800X aren't that great for gaming, and also the B550 boards do not require a BIOS update to support Ryzen 5000. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

That is not strictly true. The 5000 series released after the B550 chipset. The majority of boards should be ok, but it is still possible to buy a board that needs an update.

It might do. A lot of boards should be fine, and if it has a Ryzen 5000 ready sticker then you are good to go. Other option is to buy a board with bios flashback and then you are fine either way. The Gigabyte board in your list has Q Flash which is the same thing.
