What I know about is:

* max supported RAM
* Chipset
* USB 3.0

Other than that, I don't know what else to look for.
 
Chipset, CPU socket, Expansion slot layout, Power delivery.

Please keep to the 1400 give or take thread. I know all the threads have a different questions in them but they are all for the same subject. We can help you better narrow down a motherboard better if we do not have to hunt down all the information in other threads.

Comparing features are not as important as getting the features you need or want.

One of the biggest questions is what graphics are you going to run?

On-board or single graphics card solution
Multiple graphics cards (Crossfire or SLI)

Will you need a Micro-ATX motherboard or will a standard ATX motherboard fit your case?
-----------------
I usually lookup motherboards (among other things) on newegg and compare features side by side.
