Recommend me a 1155 mobo

I've got a fairly OEM 1155 gigabyte mobo right now. What I want from a new one is:
- USB 3.0 support
- HDMI out
- 32gb ram support
- preferably micro ATX although I can fit full size
Can anyone recommend anything? The thing about using older parts is that I have hundreds of boards to look at! I'm not interested in upgrading sockets and processor right now. It's a junk build and I'm happy with my 2600k!

They don't exist. What do you mean by fairly OEM?

Bog standard gigabyte board with minimal functionality that I got from a junk Novatech PC someone was throwing out. Sorry, I guess OEM wasn't quite the right phrase to use!

No worries. You can't get a modern board and use your old cpu though unfortunately. You're stuck with using the same generation and board socket which will have the same limitations as your current board.

I would like to help you, but I would say that knowledge of 11? years old socket motherboards perished from many brains including mine. to be hones if you buy even the most cheapest components of current/previous generation CPUs, you will get more performance than building on ancient intel 2nd gen
you are pretty much looking for 1155 socket motherboard, just look up reviews when you find one that interests you. here are the specific chipsets for LGA 1155 socket:
