B450 Aorus M does not really have the VRM to handle a 5900x.

even though it says it is supported? or do you mean it won't be able to run it as optimally as a better motherboard?

The latter.

It'll work.  Don't try to overclock, or anything.

Short term, you could run it, but you might want to consider Saving for:
New board & Faster RAM (eventually) 

Then drop the 3600 back into the 450 and have a spare PC for something.

It probably could do it for a bit but I won't doubt that either the 5900x will under perform quite a bit or till the vrms go.

Your system will running fine, But not a optimal way to do it, It is however a good thing to upgrade your motherboard to better one for example b550m from Aorus, But as long it is supported you can just update the bios and slap on it. And I don't thing you need to be paranoids about the motherboard VRM, Just upgrade the motherboard later on when you thing you're ready....

 

But also you can undervolting the CPU if you want, other than that I'll say that your system will running fine with it. At least not for a long time tho. I mean you can sell your Ryzen 5 3600x and get a better b550 board. 

 

(Also 750 watt PSU is already enough to handle the beast)

I was not planning on overclocking it at all. can you please recommend a motherboard I should buy? (is 180$ budget ok for the motherboard?)

180 Dollar is more than enough,
