A motherboard is the backbone of your computer, providing the connections and pathways for all your other hardware components. It's kind of like the central nervous system of your PC, except it doesn't have the ability to feel pain (unfortunately). Without a motherboard, your computer would be a bunch of expensive parts sitting on a desk, doing nothing. So, you know, it's pretty important.

There are a few key things to consider when choosing a motherboard. First, you need to make sure it's compatible with your CPU. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with a really expensive paperweight. You'll also want to consider the number and type of expansion slots, as well as the number of USB ports and other connectivity options. And of course, don't forget about the all-important RGB lighting. You want your motherboard to look as flashy as possible, right?

Nope! Motherboards come in a variety of sizes, also known as form factors. The most common form factors are ATX and Micro-ATX, but there are also smaller ones like Mini-ITX and even larger ones like Extended-ATX. You'll need to choose a motherboard that fits in your computer case, so make sure to measure your case and check the motherboard's dimensions before making a purchase.

Well, technically you can, but you probably shouldn't. Overclocking is a delicate art that requires a lot of knowledge and experience to do safely. And even then, there's no guarantee that it will work. So unless you're a seasoned overclocking pro, you're probably better off leaving it to the professionals (or just leaving it alone altogether).

That depends on how much money you have burning a hole in your pocket. High-end motherboards often come with design consideration, extra features and more robust components, but they also come with a higher price tag. If you're a hardcore PC enthusiast then yes, go for it. But if you're on a budget, you can still get a perfectly capable motherboard without breaking the bank.

In theory, yes, you can upgrade your motherboard. But in practice, it's not always a good idea. Upgrading your motherboard means replacing the entire backbone of your computer, which can be a complex and expensive process. Unless you're an experienced PC builder and you have a really good reason for upgrading your motherboard, you're probably better off reaching out to a friend (like our PC Building Experts!) for help, sticking with what you have or upgrading your PC.
