I am after a LGA1151 socket motherboard for my boy who is building up his first PC. If you have anything sitting around let me know. Thanks

Which gen CPU? I have bought several off aliexpress for upgrading dinosaur systems to 8th gen so they are supported for windows 11, but you need to know which gen CPU as there are 3 that use that socket, you want a 300 series at least for 8th gen - some bios hackery can make them go on older ones but its unclear how that affects the management engine TPM that is needed to have 11 work without hacks.
