My current config is as follows:
CPU Intel i5 3570k
RAM: Gskill 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
Cabinet: Corsair 400r cabinet
Graphics Card: ZOTAC Amp Extreme Core Edition, GEFORCE GTX 970

My motherboard Maximus V Gene RAM has gone bad & is out of warranty, my PC tech says it can't be fixed, I will try to get some other tech to repair it too but in the meantime I should be ready in case I have to buy a new motherboard. The same one is not available easily & since it's also an old model, I'd also like to look at current models which also support my config

I bought my pc for playing games primarily but I guess my interest became a little less & has gone more towards AI, ethical hacking etc
But to be safe, please suggest more than 1 option considering my interest in gaming (or using heavy graphical applications) may come back & especially considering that I already have a GEFORCE GTX 970

There are no current motherboards for that CPU. You will likely need to buy a used motherboard from a place like Ebay.

LGA 1155 has been discontinued for some time now (it was initially released in 2012).
