I've had lots of computers. (Over a dozen desk and laptops) Don't think I've have any motherboard issues. I'd think the motherboard is the most reliable part of the computer. Or is my experience too limited?

Do not forget that ANY computer device might be ruined the moment you lay your hand on it! IF YOU DO NOT USE ESD-PROTECTION IN A PROPER WAY! (read this about ESD!)
That means attaching the end of an ESD wrist strap to a metal part of your computer (that does NOT have the powercord connected)
And putting on the wrist-strap onto your self BEFORE opening the ESD-bag with your component in it...
In not handled properly your new components may get broken before you even get to use it..
And YES! This applies to motherboards too… actually it applies to any internal computer component...
And if you can afford new components, then you can afford a simple ESD-wrist strap..
