Given that it seems like you don't have the unlocked version, it won't be necessary to get a z77 or z67 motherboard but I'd recommend you to still get one for the ability to SLI in the future. Also they're more high-end than other motherboards.

This is what PCPartPicker came up with. Take your pick.

 

Edit: you said you wanted SLI, PCPartPicker only found 3 with those parameters.

Why do you need to replace your motherboard?
