well your cpus socket is LGA 1151 so as long as you get a 1151 socket motherboard you will be fine.Since you have a locked chip dont get a Z170 or Z270 motherboard, go for a H110M K by asus or something

i3 is 1151 socket so you need a 1151 socket motherboard.

Chipset will determine features and components attached to said motherboard.
