The CV looks alright yeah. I saw a review and it was good.
You can't go wrong with the B450, I have that motherboard. Solid and reliable ,good VRMs and runs everything on it.
It's now not the latest because of the B550 , the difference is PCIE X4 but that doesn't look like you're going to be fully saturating PCI-E x3 for a while yet.
Also M2, you'll get 6.4GBs vs 3.2GBs , I have max 3.2GBs and hardly use that power.
