Motherboard
First important part when choosing a motherboard is deciding whether you wants to to go with Intel or AMD.
Both offer processor options across a wide variety of different price and performance levels,
Whether you want to build for a light home uses or maybe something powerful enough to handle 3D contents creation or gaming at the same time,
Once you decided which CPU family is best for you then you will need to pick a motherboard that uses the right socket.
When you are finding for CPU, make sure to look at the indicated socket type.
Most common sockets types are LGA 1151 (Intel) and AM4 (AMD).
If want to compare the different motherboards that match that socket type and maybe with detail information of the motherboard,
Its best to visit newegg.com.

All motherboards comes with different sizes: ATX, Micro ATX and Mini ATX.
Generally ATX measurement will be 30.5cm x 27.1cm.
For Micro ATX measurement will be 24.4cm x 24.4cm.
Lastly, Mini ATX measurement will be 17.01cm x 17.01cm.

Generally, all motherboards will include:
  • Sockets (which CPU processor will be install physically)
  • Memory Slots (which they call DIMM modules containing RAM of D3/D4)
  • Non-volatile memory chip which contains the system’s firmware or BIOS
  • Expansion slots
  • Power connector
  • Connectors for hard drives, typically SATA only
  • Input/Output device such as USB, HDMI
  • Peripherals such as mouse, keyboard
Best way is to check online on the specs for every motherboard that you are buying.
The larger the size of the board and more specs = more costly.
If you are setting up normal personal computer, Mini ATX should be enough.
If you are setting up normal personal computer with some edit photos or videos and not hardcore gaming at same time, Micro ATX should be okay.
Of course, if you really on high end type and going for the gaming purposes, then ATX will be best to do with.
