Picking the best motherboard for your gaming PC is often a lower priority than finding the most extreme graphics cards and processors you can buy. However, your motherboard is arguably just as – if not even more – important because it connects each of your components (from the main CPU to the most insignificant case fan) to each other.
This essential component also determines how quickly your gaming PC can run and how far you can overclock your components. Depending on the specs of your motherboard, you also might only be able to support memory up to a certain speed or a certain number of storage drives.

Fans started fearing the worst after Oliver announced he's shuttering the HBO show before walking off set this past Sunday night. But it's likely just a cruel joke.
Last month, the host made headlines for spending a ton of money on a bunch of Russell Crowe memorabilia from the actor's divorce auction. Crowe got word of it and announced the money Oliver spent will be given to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital to help koalas with chlamydia.
