Please be sure that all your components are actually 'fried' before you buy new ones.

Sounds like you're a gamer. Best route right now would be a nice LGA1151 chip and motherboard; AMD won't be a valid option until they release the Zen chips, assuming they will be what they're made out to be.

In that situation I would go with an i7-6700 (6700K if you're an overclocker) and a suitable 1151 board, Asus and Gigabyte are the brands I trust. Bear in mind, Skylake chips don't come with a stock CPU cooler, so you'll need one of those too.

Socket 1151 is only suitable for using 2 GPUs, but it also has an integrated GPU. What's your 3rd GPU?

I'm quite sure there are 1151 boards that are 4-way SLI/CF-capable.

I'm not aware of the status of bridges on 1151. I know the CPUs themselves can only provide 20 PCIe lanes.
