Trying to understand computer technology is melting my brain. I understand the abilities of varying GPUs and CPUs and even RAM. What I don’t get is what makes a motherboard good or bad. Isn’t it just the circuitry that everything talks to each other through? If it’s made of the same material and has the same ports how can it be good or bad in comparison to another of like build quality?

More useful ports, more slots for stuff to go in, better quality construction, fancy design, better components for overclocking and flashing it in case it breaks, and some stuff can be built into the MB like wireless (better wireless is on better boards).
Don’t get a top end board unless you want to do overclocking. Do get a board that has the slots you want and the ports you want and if useful a good wireless.
