Hey,
I'll be upgrading my PC in the coming month and realized I don't know much about motherboards. I know what CPU is compatible with which socket and that my RAM is supported by all 370-series motherboards that I've looked at, but I've no clue if there's much more to this than that to get it all working.
Is there more to it? All help on this subject is welcome.
Right now I've been looking at a "Gigabyte H370 HD3, ATX-motherboard" from my country's biggest computer retailer (Jimms.fi) to go with an i7-8700.
Thanks beforehand.
