I'm a total newbie here and i'm planning on getting a gaming computer so i'm researching computer parts. I'm at this site right here: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Gaming-Computer and it says that you should find a motherboard that matches your CPU so you should "take a note" of the ram frequency, socket and memory module. But what are those things? And how do I know if a motherboard fits the CPU? Also what is the "pins" on the memory module?
Keep in mind i'm a newbie so I might not get slang for different words.
