Hello everybody I'm new here
I wasent in the bussiness of pc parts since 2017

My old cpu i7 7700k start making problems , I open the motherboard (asrock z270 sli killer) and I damaged the pins on the motherboard where the cpu located

So now I want to change the cpu and the motherboard (the GTX 1070 TI still working perfect thx god)

I need a recommendation for the CPU i5-11600k
I need 3 things please on the motherboard
1.) My DDR4 is 3200mhz so I rather motherboard that support 3200
2.) I rather SLI if in the future I want to make 2 GPU (but this is not necessarily)
3.) The cheaper the better , I rather motherboard 70$ to 130$ ,
No ruse but I need to go buy the motherboard TOMORROW morning, cuz I got no PC now lol
Thank you so much for taking the time and helping me

Your budget isn't going to offer much by way of a proper motherboard for that 11600K. They run WAY beyond the 125W TDP.
SLI is on it's way out, not sure it's worth concentrating effort on.

If you are intending on getting one tomorrow you are likely limited by what is in stock near you. Around here the only two places left to get a motherboard are Best Buy, if you are really lucky, and MicroCenter. Might be worthwhile to check your local store to see if they have anything in hand.
If you are thinking to order something it is my recommendation to consider an 11400/11500 or such level for that budget of motherboard. Your price range is likely going to limit you to B or H chipsets.

1)B-series supports memory OC now. Most will recommend B560 boards.
2)Support officially died back in January.
3)Try 150+. You're not going to find a decent one in that range unless you step the cpu down to an 11400/500 like punkncat suggested.

Micro Center Brooklyn location are showing (10) 500 series motherboard types in stock under budget. Keep in mind that taxes were not considered. Also, if you haven't already purchased the CPU they do a $20 off bundle deal on many combos.

I have found the salespeople at the two here to be exceptional. Go onto the website this evening and take a look at all of them. Consider form factor of your case, memory slots, pick a few you like and check reviews. Some of the boards offered are almost the same aside from form factor. I feel like any of the ASUS, Gigabyte, or MSI offerings at the top of your price range would be worthwhile to consider. The Pro series of ASRock aren't well reviewed and heard so far as to say the Phantom Gaming is to be avoided.
The ASUS H Plus Prime offered looks really nice, but haven't read any reviews on it.

1. 3200MHz is a good speed for that cpu. Any Z series motherboard will be fine there, no worries.

2. Sli is dead. Really dead for all intents and purposes. Windows 10 and upcoming versions are/will be multi - gpu based, not sli based. Win10 uses DX12 native, not DX11 native and DX12 is mgpu, no sli.

The only 3000 series RTX that is sli capable is the 3090. All other lower cards have no sli capabilities.

It's dead.

3. Z590 isn't cheap. The only reason you'd need a Z590 is for OC the 11600k. The 11400 is almost as good, and doesn't OC so can be used on a cheaper B560 motherboard.

I'd actually visit the Microcenter store. Most times they'll have bundle deals, buy a cpu/motherboard combo cheaper than seperate.

So if you want cheap, you'll need to sacrifice 'best' for good enough, because $70 isn't going to get you anything.

Thanks for all of you guys for the response
What you guys think about this one?

ASUS B460 PRIME B460M-A Intel LGA 1200 microATX Motherboard
Is that good anough ?

And if not
What about this one?

ASUS H570M-PLUS/CSM Prime Intel LGA 1200 microATX Motherboard

(I'm wondering if I will do an OC or not but I don't want to spend an extra money just for that
If an expensive motherboard have other benefits besides OC please let me know)

Plenty of motherboard for a 11600K.
https://www.microcenter.com/product...msi-z590-mag-pro-wifi,-cpu-motherboard-bundle

The 11600K is a better chip than the 11400 0.5 faster turbo speed but need more of a CPU cooler although the 11400 cooler also needs replacing.

The same coolers that fir a 7700K fit the 1200 socket so that is no problem, if it is enough for a 11600K I can't tell you it claims to be good for up to 180Watts and that would work if their telling the truth.

EDIT.

Ok
And the last 2 things when I installed this fan to the motherboard about 4 years ago I broke 1 edge of the black plastic attached to the back side of the motherboard , so 3 screws seating perfect and the last one on the back also but is not super tight on the back
The fan seating very tight on the CPU and it work good so far
U think that can be an issue now?

2.) Do I have to make a new windows bc I change the motherboard or after I install it everything should be fine cuz I got the same SSD

Redo Windows. Part of windows is the registry, and it contains the list of everything used, the addresses and links for stuff like drivers, codecs etc. When changing the motherboard to something different, you change the chipsets, drivers etc so very few things are going to actually line up correctly and it'll be a mess to try and fix manually. Much better to redo windows and erase the registry, starting from scratch and let windows assign its parameters, needs etc.

You might be able to use a nylon washer to help hold that backplate screw/backplate tight and spread the load without undue stress right at the mount hole. As long as the cooler is seeing even (decent) pressure across both axis, you'll be good to go.
