Im going to be ordering parts for a new PC, it will be my first time installing a new mobo. Ive never had to screw around with jumpers before. Will i have to change anything around when it arrives?.

it is going to be an Intel board, Im not into oc'ng the processor so thats why im going with an intel board. My other question is what are the difference between all these boards at newegg,

Theres like 10 of the same board, specs are the same but different pricesy
The board im planning on getting is this one

Most motherboards these days have little more than a jumper to clear CMOS, and from the [H] review, it looks like that all the Intel i865 boards have.
 
There should not be any jumpers you need to set to setup the board. If you don't plan on overclocking, then the Intel board is be fine.
 
You shouldn't have to touch any jumpers, but you may have to go into the bios to make sure it recognizes your hard drives(which basically just involves setting it to autodetect) and making sure it recognizes your cpu correctly.
