No need reallY for WiFi or Bluetooth. I’m a newb so I don’t really know what overclocking is. I’ve been eyeing the asus rog B550 F and the white one that’s an A. I like the look of the white one because my case and a few other components are white

Bluetooth is always a nice option to have nowadays for controllers, keyboards, headsets, etc, but you can always buy a cheap USB adapter if you ever need it

Cheap Option. Should run 5600x at stock settings, even with some overclocking. Lacks BT/WiFI:

Medium Option. Should handle any 5600x overclocking without any issue, has 2.5 GB LAN port, and 1 G LAN port. A ton of USB ports. No included WiFi/BT.

LINK

Pricier Option. All the bells and whistles, and frankly overkill for a 5600x - WiFi 6/BT, RGB everywhere, 2.5 GB LAN, good built-in audio, etc..

Frankly I would not pay over $200 for a B550 board if you are running a 5600x.

I paid $189 for my B550 ITX board for my 5600x build, but frankly all ITX boards have a price premium added.

For your purposes, go with the cheap one or the medium. The B550-F WiFi board is frankly overkill.
