the motherboard of a computer runs all of the other parts in the computer. it is very important and has the external ports connected to it.

poor motherboard is good for people that don't need many ports and don't use their computer to do many different things.

moderate-low mother board is good for people that just want a decent, reliable home computer to do homework, taxes, any regular computer activity.

moderate-high mother board is good for people that really use their computer for a lot of things, need a lot of usb ports, and its good for gaming.

great motherboard is good for serious computer users, if you'll be on your computer often and use large programs on your computer you'll need a pretty powerful motherboard.

outstanding mother board is for serious gamers, this is my personal favorite because it has 1000 customizable LEDs built into the motherboard.

The monstrous motherboard is for the most elite gamers or even if you're trying to customize a supercomputer! This thing works flawlessly and it integrates really well with other high-end parts.
