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)

So I almost have the identical set up here. Can confirm that we have to update the motherboard and cpu. I don’t really want to upgrade my RAM too as I have DDR4 and is compatible. But yes. It’s close to upgrading time.

For reference I have an intel i5-7500 and the same motherboard. 16gb Corsair DDR4 ram Rtx3050 dual oc 550 w power supply
