Looking for a new motherboard

I recently broke my current motherboard GA H170 HD3 and am currently looking for a new motherboard.

The problem that i am currently having is that, should i be buying the same motherboard or should i buy a different one?

It would be helpful to have some recommendations on what to buy as i do not know much about them.

The max price i can do is $200 CAD, but if it is truly worth it to get one that is slightly higher priced i can consider it and make some sacrifices.

General use of the computer is gaming, and general use if this information helps.

Specs:

Cpu: i5 6600K

Gpu: Gtx 960 evga 2gb

Ram: 4x2 ddr4 2400

PSU: Corsair CX600

You could but the one you broke again but only if it had the features you wanted. If you want  newer features you could update it.

It doesn't matter which Mobo you pick, I just checked amazon and this was the first result.
