Not likely. Use PCPartPicker to find compatible parts. This is an argument to be had, but you can go AMD AM4 for something far newer than you have (I have a 5600X that is 5? years old). You want to stick with Intel, you may actually benefit on buying older stuff that fits what you have. until you know what isn't actually broken, you won't be able to sell your old kit with a good conscience.
You can probably buy the same mobo that fits RAM, CPU, etc, for not much.
If you're going to have to change RAM, I'd buy the RAM sooner rather than later. You should just need mobo. You probably don't want to re-use a 13 year old proc and old RAM if you're doing a rebuild, but that's a choice. I'm AMD (I'm pretty cheap.)

I got sent a file with over a million rows to view from a client. On a Citrix desktop. I'm guessing you'll be fine :).
