How to Choose a Motherboard: 3 Levels of Skill



How to Choose a Motherboard: 3 Levels of Skill
⇨ Sponsor: ASUS VG259QM 280Hz Monitor | bit.ly/PH-ASUSTUF #FramesWinGames
Buying a motherboard can be a daunting task for new builders, so in this video I break it down on three skill levels: basic compatibility, features & extras, and components & build quality.
**UPDATE AS OF 5/19/2020 — AMD just announced that they WILL be adding support for 4000-series CPUs to B450 and X470 motherboards. They will need to set up a 1-way BIOS upgrade that will drop support for some 1st-gen Ryzen CPUs, and details are still forthcoming, but it's great news!**

Intel’s lack of understanding of what its customers want has damaged its credibility in the industry. It’s not too late, though: Intel can still fix its 400-series budget chipsets.
