Here is my PC Part Picker Build list to give you an idea of what I'm working with: My roughly 6 year old build . Heres a screen shot just incase link doesn't work: .

Its basically on its last leg and blue screening and crashing my PC about every other day now and the only thing it can be at this point is the MB b/c I've checked everything else. I just need advice on a replacement motherboard that is LGA 1151 to support my i7-6700K as well as support for DDR4 ram. Its just the cheapest way I can do things currently is to replace the motherboard and just plug my existing stuff into the new motherboard. I need to do this with a quickness too so that I can have it fully fixed before it actually fully dies
Also when I added the M.2 NVME SSD it like completely disabled all the other data ports so I'm not able to use any of my HDDs I'm having to use external docking stations for some reason. So if possible I need suggested Motherboard that will allow me to use my M.2 SSD as well as at least one more pci express slot so I can add a regular SSD or just a big HDD for storage. Im willing to sacrifice the M.2 altogether if you think its needed and I can just get a 1TB SSD instead to get full access to all ports. I'm in over my head so please please lend me your collective knowledge fellow builders.
Oh here's the link to the Motherboard I'm using: My MB
And here is my ram for reference: My ram
Thank you so much to all those who can assist me! Please help!

I had many years of good reliable service from my MSI Z170 A-PRO. It has a single m.2 slot and MAY suit your needs. I was running an i7-6700 non k.

You: "I just need advice on a replacement motherboard that is LGA 1151 to support my i7-6700K as well as support for DDR4 ram"
Me: ..MSI Z170 A-PRO
You: ..."that doesnt help me much mate but thanks anyway."

But I wrote exactly what you asked for, a suitable Z170 mobo. Did I miss something ?

OK I'm board now bc some guys in the pcpartpicker discord have all suggested the

ASRock Z690 PG Riptide ATX LGA1700 Motherboard and the Intel Core i5-12600KF 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor bc I'm just blue screening a lot every day now and if I just replace these 2 components the that should solve the problem right? My question is, they say my Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000mhz ram is compatible but the mb specs say it calls for 3200. Here I'll just post my pcpartpicker.com build list and you tell me what you think OK.​
