I just bought a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and want to choose a reliable motherboard and cooling solution without spending on high-end parts. I've heard the 5800X3D can run fairly warm, so what B550 or X570 motherboard and CPU cooler would be a good match? I already have 32GB of DDR4 memory and am upgrading from an i7-9700K.

The 5800X3D is a strong upgrade if you already have DDR4, as you do. The newer AM5 platform offers a better future upgrade path, but switching would also mean buying a motherboard and DDR5 memory. Since you already own compatible RAM and wanted an upgrade from your current processor, staying with AM4 makes practical sense.
