what should I look for when choosing a motherboard?

The only thing I will use this computer for is multimedia, browsing, and games (like Pandora, Google chrome, and steam, maybe Skype)
And if you could also tell me how to make sure it fits my case?

well for it to fit in your case you would have to take the measurement of the motherboard and the one of the case which it should tell you in the specs. and for what brand motherboard you would be good to go with an ASUS or a GIGABYTE motherboard since those are the best on the market as of now. Go look on amazon or newegg for good prices. Also for making sure it fits if you see that the motherboard you're getting is an ATX make sure the case supports an ATX motherboard.
