I scored a deal on the ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W for about $195, but I can't find any reviews or information online—no good or bad feedback at all. I'm wondering if I should take the risk with this board or just spend a bit more for the B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE instead.

Honestly, this board doesn't seem like the best deal. It's considered fairly low-end and has a low-quality VRM, which might not perform well under load. I’ve seen the B850 Gaming Wifi go for cheaper on Amazon, and that one has a much better VRM, making it more capable of handling high-performance CPUs like the 9950x. You might want to consider that instead!
I get that, but I’m outside the US, and most similar boards are priced around $250 or more here, making it tough to find a good option.
