Looking to upgrade my CPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

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 need a new motherboard. The changes with Intel gen 10 and above are substantial. The entire reason Windows 11 exists is because the CPU scheduler had to be completely rewritten for Intel's asymmetrical cores that started in gen 10. Linux also takes advantage of the core configuration with Intel stuff.
