Help choosing a motherboard for the Ryzen 5 5600

My budget is 150 USD for a motherboard (I live in the US) I don't know anything on how to tell if a motherboard is good or if there's anything better for the price. I only need to attach 1 gpu to it (GTX 3050) and 1 NVME (SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus) I might want to add another one soon, or maybe i'll go for a sata ssd if the lanes are shared or itll disable something else, I don't need wifi or bluetooth since I have a pcie adapter for it, are the only difference just features or is there something else I need to look into? I don't plan on overclocking though I would like to enable XMP on ram and make sure my cpu can go into turbo and such since I do a lot of editing, rendering and gaming

Pretty much any motherboard is going to run a 5600 with zero trouble.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

Work Laptop: Intel Core i7-10510U, NVIDIA Quadro P520, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x86_64

Buildzoid (popular youtuber who is quite technical at the board level) had many positive things to say about the MSI mortar b550. I've been using it for a couple of years now and it has been flawless. But in reality, the 5600 will not push a board to the breaking point.
