I am looking at the Lee Anniversary starter set to go with the Hornady dies.

The Anniversary Kit was my first setup. It served me well for some time, but the handle to ram interface always seemed to be straining with resizing larger cases, so I replaced the press with the Classic Cast. That served me well until I dabbled into swaging bullets from annealed, spent pistol brass and it to seemed to strain at the handle interface. I recently had some jingle burning a hole in my pocket, so I added a rockchucker alongside the Classic Cast for the really tough jobs, like resizing 300 WSM down to 300 WSSM. A major PITA idea I abandoned due to the fallout rate, but that's another story. Having the two alongside one another allows me to do two steps sequentially without having to knock down my setup. It's mostly a matter of convenience, but I still prefer depriming with the Classic Cast.
The Anniversary Kit will work fine woth the 450B. Dies are dies and most fit most presses. No surprises there. The 50 BMG die set is a little different given the size you're dealing with, but that's about all that comes to mind in the single stage press world. There will always be some oddball exception, but they're few and far between. Go for it. The bottom line is, any press is better than no press. I Remember my dad cursing ad throwing around his Load-All shotgun shell reloader like 40 years ago. That was as far as he got with reloading. He's not good with fastidious processes...
