There are various benefits to acquiring a great motherboard, especially for those who enjoy or aspire to build their own PC. Along with embracing the power of deciding just how much storage your computer can hold, you can also customize the resolution for high quality graphics and more. Instead of simply buying a computer that is set with its own limitations, many people opt for building their own PC, and a significant part of this process is in choosing the right
motherboard.
To the PC, the motherboard acts as the backbone that allows for the communication of several different components and commands. It is built as the printed circuit board (PCB) which enables the interaction between the computer’s central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU),
computer memory, and storage. It consists of a medley of circuits, transistors, capacitors, slots, connectors, heat sinks, and more. Choosing the perfect motherboard is entirely dependent on whether or not you intend to upgrade your PC in the future. If you prefer not to have to upgrade in the future, then choosing the right motherboard now is important.
The first easy decision to make as you’re narrowing down to the perfect motherboard is to choose between which CPU you need for your PC. The choices are between
Intel and AMD. You’ll have to do further research into these companies as both are constantly upgrading and both produce CPUs that can sufficiently meet your web browsing, productivity, and gaming needs. It’s their upgrades and features that you’ll have to look out for, as AMD’s Ryzen processors may be more suitable for apps that can use multiple processor cores at once.
After you’ve determined your
central processing unit (CPU), the last step is selecting a motherboard that uses the correct chipset and socket. Choosing the wrong one means that you’ve just invested money into a great motherboard that simply doesn’t fit the sockets pertaining to your CPU. There are multiple places that you can reference for this, including Newegg’s online comparison tool.
