Any pro/con for this Board?
Thank you

Nice board, but what is your end use? Gaming? Content creation?

A couple of questions that you should think about:

1. What CPU are you going to use?
2. Will you be using a discrete graphics card, or using the GPU inside the processor (if equipped)?
3. What kind of NVMe drives are you going to use? Note that some of them are PCIe 5.0.
4. Do you have any other internal cards other than a GPU that have to go in it?
5. The board is primarily aimed at the video content creation market.
6. I think that the B650 chipset is not as powerful as the X870 chipset, though I could be wrong.

I think if I had to make a recommendation, I would pick something in the Gigabyte Aorus series, if you want to stay with Gigabyte. ASUS has some good offerings too in the 670 and 870 series, though the Strix models are a little overpriced. At the very least, I would investigate the X870 series motherboards to give you a little more flexibility. They take the newer processors and higher speed DDR 5, and they also feature a PCIe 5.0 for faster data transfers from your M.2 drives.

This board would actually get me to build another AMD system:

I am going Intel in my next build, but that X870E is a damn nice board.

Yes you are right
I will stay away from this board it's not for me
I have been looking at the X870E board's but they are a little expensive for me
There was an email I got saying they are around $500 or so. This is a little too much for a mobo and for my budget

Thank you

Hold off a bit if you are going to buy an X870 board. They are in limited availability at the usual places, and we all know what that means:

HIGHER PRICES!!!

When more varieties of X870 come out, you will see some in the more affordable price range, I am sure. And I wouldn't buy computer parts from Amazon, unless there is a wicked sale. I have found that Amazon's computer component pricing is about 10 - 20% higher than what I can get it for elsewhere. At least here in Canada.

I'm so happy you mentioned this. I thought I was the only one. This Amazon pricing is driving me crazy
