Isn’t Z79 for AMD only? I’d rather use intel.. 

Z97 is the overclocking-ready chipset that launched with Devil's Canyon (your i5-4690K being one of the CPUs of that gen), it was one of the first to feature NVMe support, if I'm not mistaken. So assuming that by "doesn't have any slots for SSDs" you mean M.2 slots, then this would be your only option if you want to keep your CPU.

I have an asus z97-a usb 3,0 motherboard that have an m.2 slot but it's only x2 and takes only pcie ssd ... I know it's one of the low end board of that time but it's still quite decent. 

 

sadly I don't have a K cpu to take advantage of the overclocking capabilities of the board.  I got it used on kijiji for 50$ CAD so that gives you an idea of the price of those boards if you are not in a rush.
