Shopping for a motherboard
Even though my system is only 3 years old i thought i might shop around for a new motherboard to see if i can get some better gaming benefits. I do work and play on this system, i do graphics, i game, and i code in php, and i do photoshop. So its an all in one pc. But i would like to get some better gaming performance especially since i run two monitors i think i need a better motherboard.
I have been doing some looking around at different sites, newegg and others and trying to do some comparison with regard to specs. But i just cant seem to decide (or learn) what features i need to be looking for.
Are there like 5 or 10 top things to look for in a new motherboard, are there things standard that i dont need to worry about such as chipset, usb ports, or do you just simply get one that matches the same or similar rear panel setup so i dont have to re-organize the rear connection plates. I have never purchased a MB alone before so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
here is my current motherboard
