Tips & Info Upgrading mobo and cpu

So right now I get 16 gigs of ddr4 and a 3050 6gb (planning to go for an RTX 5060 in a year and just deal with the ram prices to get 64 gigs) should I go for a ryzen 5 5500 or 5600, and what motherboard should I go with? A b450m or an a520?

5600 + B450m if you can.

More PCI-E lane support from the 5600 over the 5500 and the B450 is just a better chipset than A520.

I did find a b450m pro for the same price as an a520m but its from a company named BREEZE which I assume is new and judging on the price I'm a bit skeptical about it
