You need an Intel board with an LGA 1155 socket. Some early 1155 boards were produced for the 2nd gen CPUs; you have a 3rd gen. So those boards will need a BIOS update to recognize the 'newer' CPU.
The 1155 socket boards have been out of production for quite some time. But they are still suitable for gaming.

This ebay page lists some 1155 socket motherboards: https://www.ebay.com/b/Motherboards/1244?Brand=Intel&Socket%2520Type=LGA%25201155%252FSocket%2520H2&rt=nc&_sop=12
Not all of them will necessarily work with the i5-3330 CPU w/o a BIOS update. And another thing... the boards come in different size formats; ATX and mATX being the most common. Which case will it be going into? If it is a prebuilt like Dell or HP, you may run into problems with matching up proprietary connectors with standard retail connector on the board.
