Answer» Hello I wanted to buy a motherboard for my I5 4690K but I want to overclock it since I bought the unlocked version of this CPU, I was told by this site that I should go for a Z87 or a Z97
http://innoreviews.com/motherboard/best-motherboard-for-i5-4690k/
However both are kinda EXPENSIVE around ~100-140$ is there no cheaper motherboard that allows me to overclock this I5?You need a Z-series chipset to overclock a K series CPU, yes. Other CHIPSETS do not have the ability to set a multiplier higher than stock, or depending on the model, 4 "bins" above stock, that's reserved for the Z chipsets.
However, you don't have to buy EITHER of the models suggested on your link - in fact I'd generally recommend against an MSI motherboard, I usually recommend Asus or Gigabyte. Asus and Gigabyte models are AVAILABLE for around $100.
I'm hoping this link works and keeps my filters and SORTING, have a look here - https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#c=89,99&sort=a8&page=1&m=8,14,18
Hope this helps
