Will a cheap b450 motherboard run well with a ryzen 7 3700x and a rtx 3060 12gb?

Hey guys, I pretty new to pc building and I'm planning on building a new pc. I've found the parts but I'm not 100% sure about the compatibility and how well they will run together, I'm mainly concerned about the motherboard. Also just to note, I'm not planning on doing any overclocking except from running the ram at its advertised clock speed so that's not an issue for me. Let me know if there are any problems with the parts list. Thanks

 

PC Parts:

 

Case: Corsair 110R Gaming Midi Tower

Motherboard: MSI B450-A Pro Max 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6GHz

CPU Cooler: CPU Stock cooler

Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD

PSU: Be Quiet System Power 9 600W

GPU: rtx 3060 12gb

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 RAM (3200MHz)

The case looks like it has pretty bad airflow from what I can see. 
Gamers Nexus has a lot of good case reviews, maybe take a look there. Is there a reason you want to take a r7 3700x vs a r5 5600x? The 5600x has nearly the same multi core performance but hugely bigger single core performance

If you buy a cheap mobo you'll leave performance on the table, especially with a high-end CPU. An MSI tomahawk is one of the best b450 boards

 

The case doesn't have great airflow; the stock CPU cooler is fine but you'll want something more substantial if you do overclocking or CPU intensive work; the PSU is also fine, it's only 80 plus bronze so you could do better, especially considering the rest of your build

 

Also, as Devryd pointed out, is there a particular reason you chose the 3700x over the 5600x?

For gaming and stuff it won't matter that much; motherboard limitations esp. for Ryzen is mostly going to manifest in full CPU workloads like rendering or whatever

It seems the ryzen 5 5600x is more performant than the ryzen 7 3700x but I cant seem to find a good motherboard for it. Is there a motherboard you could recommend under 100$?
