Motherboard Swap

I have a Gateway FX6802 that I want to rebuild. I have previously upgraded the power supply to 800w, the GPU to GTX960ti and added a 1tb ssd. I want to swap out the motherboard for a more up-to-date motherboard (i am quite sure the current board is ATX) supporting a better CPU, and DDR4 memory. Present OS IS windows10 Home.Can you confirm that a replacement ATX motherboard is what I would need toconsider?

You don't need to stress yourself on swapping, get a new CPU of that ATX which is latest configuration.
