Is this board still worth buying or would I be better off with another board ie b550 or x570 thanks will be putting a 3600 in it and 16 gig of ram
 
Depends what you want or need. Want PCI-E Gen 4? Get a newer board. Want the option to run Gen 1 Ryzen chips forever more? Don’t get this board.

It's for my 7 year old grandson to play some older and a few newer kids games like Lego batman and planet zoo games like that
 
Yes my wife system is a MSI 450 tomohawk max, and when i upgrade my own rig very recently i plumped for the MSI MAG x570 tomahawk
The is a nifty 2 layer nvme drive bay on the 450 MAX, it supports all current chips and likely 4000 series later, but if you are building pair a 3600 with a 450 MAX and decent ram and you've a system that kick whatever it needs to for a right while. Your level of output will only be helped/hindered by whichever GFX you aim for to match with it.
The board is about 120, a ryzen 3600 can be picked up for 155-160, the stock cooler is perfecly sufficient. Match in some decent Ram, and all you'll need is to decide what level of GFX card you wish to go for.

Thanks mate thats good to know like I said its for my grandson I've got ryzen 3700x and gigabyte x570 elite but am putting a 3600 in his and trying to keep cost down as much as poss without losing much performance he won't need gen 4 and probably pick up a second hand card off mm or a 1660 super to start with
