For the NVME, will I need to get a heatsink for it? Or does this motherboard come with one?

The board comes with a heat sink on each m2 2280 slot. I have 2 of these boards with m2 2280 Crucial devices. They work great.

is the motherboard compatible with 5th gen ryzen out of the box? or will i need to flash the bios?

The ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II motherboard is generally compatible with AMD Ryzen 5000 Series processors. However, the product review summary mentions the need for BIOS updates for certain processors. Therefore, while the motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 Series, you might need to flash the BIOS depending on the specific processor model.

is this compatable with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor also does it come with cables?

Yes, the ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard is compatible with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor. The package includes cables: 2 x SATA 6Gb/s cables.
