I have a Dell Dimension E520, the motherboard is bad, would I beable to install a new one myself? I have replaced hard drives and memories before but never a motherboard. Is it something that I can do or do I have to take into a computer shop?

Installing a motherboard is very easy! You just need to be confident and take your time, it is pretty painless. No sense in paying a computer shop to do what you can. If you take a good picture of your computer inside at a few angles I can walk you through it.
