As of this date, there are only 2 options in pcpartpicker that offer motherboards for your i3-6100 with DDR3/DDR3L support (https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#c=112,113&f=7&sort=price&L=3&qq=1) which is the Asus B150M-C D3 ($82.00 @ Amazon) and the Asus B150M-A D3 ($199.89 @ OutletPC).

Note also that those motherboards recommend using DDR3L (low-voltage RAM, lower than 1.5V), so, if you have regular 1.5V DDR3, it would cause system...

But all of these are ddr4 but i am lookinf for ddr3. I know ddr4 is better but i already have a ddr3 stick and dont want to spend more money on ram
 

that CPU doesn't support DDR3, since the new gens are moving to the DDR4, sorry bout your old RAM but u gotta move on, except if your DDR3 is a L version:

I would suggest you get the DDR4 motherboard suggested in my first link (such as the ASRock B150M-HDS being offered at a discounted/promo price of only $46 in Newegg. Then, get a new DDR4-2133 RAM kit for ~$70 (for 8GB capacity).
