I would go for the Asrock B650M Pro RS - one of the best value boards.
I think it's around $130, which leaves you with $270 for the CPU. At that price range, you can get a Ryzen 7 7700, which is a great value.
Since you're changing platforms, you'll need to get two RAM sticks as well. If that's included in those $400, too, then you should go with Ryzen 5 7600 and pick up two sticks of 2x16GB DDR5 with 6000mt/s and CL30-32 ~
