The motherboard is kind of a flat square with a lot of little parts in it. If you were to open up your computer, it is the square that everything connects to. One quick thing that I want to say is never touch your motherboard when your computer is on. Also never spill any type of fluids on it and make sure to use an anti-static wrist strap when messing with your motherboard.
Some motherboards don't cost that much, but then they aren't that good of motherboards. If you want to build a gaming machine, then you're probably going to pay 100 to 200 dollars on the motherboard alone. The reason is because they're a lot faster and support the best computer parts.
You also need to know what you want the computer to have before you buy a motherboard. You have to think of what processor you want, how much RAM you want, how many hard drives you want, and how many graphics cards you want. If you just want a basic one for watching videos and surfing the internet, then you don't really have to care. If you want a gaming machine, you have to consider all these factors.
Another thing you need to know about the motherboard is form factors. Form factors pretty much mean the size of the motherboard. The most popular form factor is ATX, but there's also a lot more different form factors. If you are building a computer from scratch you need to keep this in mind, especially when you are buying a case.
The next thing that we are going to talk about is the processor. This is one of the next things you need to consider when building your own computer. These can be pretty cheap, but the good ones are going to cost you a decent amount of money. To learn about processors, click here.
