This is going to make me sound extremely dumb, but what motherboards support my Intel 6 series C200 chipset? I currently have a Sandy Bridge motherboard, but I'm on amazon looking at all these "skylake" mobos and such. Here are my specs:

Processor: Intel i3-2100 Processor
Chipset: Intel 6 Series C200
Motherboard: Sandy Bridge
CPU Socket: LGA 1155 (2011 version)

I apologize for sounding like a complete newbie, but I'm not too familiar with motherboards. Will my processor work on motherboards such as these?

If not, what will my processor be compatible with? Does it have to be Sandy Bridge? I'm not familiar with any new gaming sandy bridge motherboards, so links would be appreciated.

Will my processor work on a B150? Or is it strictly for C200 mobos?

Thanks in advance.

Your processor is lga1155; nothing else will be compatible.
The sockets are different as are the associated chipsets.

Your motherboard will run any lga1155 processor.
That might be as strong as a I7-3770K.

There is NO value in any other lga1155 motherboard that is worthwhile.

If you want a new motherboard, plan on a new cpu to go with it; ram too.
kaby lake processors(gen 7) will run on lga1151 motherboards.
Here are the available chipsets:

I just want a newer motherboard, that's all. My current one is very old, and I'm just slowly upgrading my PC parts one by one. As long as it's anything newer than my current one (around 2010-2011) then i'm happy.

What is the difference between LGA 1150 and LGA 1155 ?

I assume I wouldn't be able to fit my processor in it, correct? Just curious.

Alright, thanks for the reply :)
I'll look into a new mobo once I get a better CPU. Might as well save some money.

Yeah, i'm planning on buying a cpu, mobo, and ram all at the same time so I'm not waiting on certain parts.
