Ok so I'm making a youtube video on general points to follow so you pick a good motherboard. I'm not posting this to advertise my channel, just to ask you guys if you think my video would be good advice for someone new looking to pick the right motherboard. Feel free to criticize this script and to tell me if I should add something.
Script:
The first and most important part of picking your motherboard is making sure it is compatible with you CPU. Now this can be pretty simple but just make sure you double check because sometimes it can be a little tricky. For example a LGA 2011-3 motherboard will not work with a LGA 2011 CPU. So just double check and make sure your CPU will work with the CPU socket on your motherboard.
After that you will want to pick the size of your motherboard. This really only matters if you want to make a small sized PC. For most people who are using full sized or mid sized PC cases you will be able to use most sized motherboards. Similarly just check to make sure your PC case can fit your motherboard. For example if you have a ATX motherboard make sure your case says it supports ATX motherboards.
So now you know that your motherboard will work with your CPU and you know if you need a specific sized motherboard but there are still a lot of options. The last part comes down to how much you are willing to pay.
High cost motherboards will offer more features such as thunderbolt ports or USB type C ports. If you want to stay on a budget that’s fine, cheaper motherboards usually have the basics that you need such as audio ports, USB 3.0, and ethernet. However if you have the money and you are willing to spend more on a motherboard you might find that having more ports is nice. Also higher end motherboards will allow you to overclock your CPU better and be more reliable. So in conclusion if you are on a budget getting a cheap motherboard will be fine, but more expensive motherboards will give you nice features such as more advanced ports, better overclocking, better power usage, better reliability, and even crazier features such as RGB lighting.
Ok thanks to everyone who commented! I will now shoot and edit this.
Ok I see what you mean but this is sort of done for you. Like if you get a skylake i3 it can be upgraded to a skylake i7 and you don't have to put any extra consideration into it when you buy the motherboard.
