I currently have a Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor in my main build (built in 2016) and I’m ready for an upgrade.

Can someone recommend me a new cpu? I’d like something a little beefier and hopefully not have to get a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-B150M-DS3H LGA-1151 socket)

You have to build a new computer. You have to change to DDR5, which means a new motherboard and processor. If it was built 7 years ago, how confident are you with that power supply given the power demands from new hardware? You are building a new computer.
