Help replacing my msi gaming m5 Z170A mobo

[netdahee1]

Hi! My z170a gaming m5 motherboard just fried and I would like to replace it with another motherboard that will use the 1151 i7 4.0ghz cpu and the ram that I have. I would like a motherboard that would be still upgrade-able as in run the newest generation cpu's but that is just secondary.

I like the MEG Z390 GODLIKE but just worried about getting something I cant use with my stuff. lol
I have the Intel® Core™ i7-6700K and the z390 says not backward compatible with older 1151's?

I am just nervous of buying something that will not work with what I have and be stuck with it I still would like a msi motherboard and I loved my m5 but i couldn't find it on newegg and thought this would be a good opportunity to upgrade even a little.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS If I left out any important information just ask and I will post it.

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

*Edit*

As below, you should check what you really have. Didn't notice you were listed an LGA 2011-v3 CPU.

Are you sure your cpu is i7-6900K ? Because it is not compatible with Z170.
That is LGA 2011-3 CPU and requires Intel X99 motherboard.

I am very sorry yes you are right I have the Intel® Core™ i7-6700K. I missed that.

You will need either a Z170 or Z270 motherboard. You cannot use a Z370 or Z390 motherboard.

If you want a miniscule upgrade, you can go with a Z270, but you're not going to get much out of it with your current CPU.

Thank you very much someone else had suggested the 300 series and z370 but I just misunderstood them. So, thank you for your quick reply and this is the answer I needed.
