Does this motherboard come wifi supported?

No, there is no Wifi support. Just wired ethernet.

can i use a ryzen 7 5700x with this??

Yup! I used 5800X no problem. All B550 mobos can with the updated bios, this mobo ships with it updated.

How many fans can you plug in?

The board has 4 system fan headers, a cpu fan header, and a pump header

Which BIOS version does the motherboard comes with? Will Ryzen 5 5500 work with the MB out of the box?

I used a 5500 worked right out of box, did not have to update anything.

Option for MBR BIOS ?

set CSM/UEFI to OFF. this puts the motherboard in compatibility mode.

would a ryzen 7 5700x work work it out of the box??

Yes. Its 5000 series ready so you wont need a bios update.

Is this a good Motherboard for a budget build ?

Yes its perfect for a budget build. If you were going with more highend you'd get a B570
