I am hoping to build a small machine using Mini ARX or Micro ITX but there is a dearth of the latest motherboards for the Ryzen 300 series. Can I use a B450 board with the 3700x - maybe by an upgrade to the board's software?

+1 on mortar MAX. Will work out of the box

On B450 and X470 a bios update is needed to work with 3700X, other than that these boards work perfectly with new processors.

ITX then Aorus B450- if it doesn't have latest bios version would have to ask Gigabyte UK to flash for you. VRMS and board is better designed then MSI Max boards. One even further is MSI B450 ITX but if no up to date bios is found, you'll have to get a 2000 series CPU to flash the bios .

mATX then MSI Max as listed above for £90 odd
