Haswell motherboards use Z86 chipset...

Sorry if my English is not perfect, but it isn't my native language :)

Any decent z87 boards will overclock your cpu. Remember: current boards don't support haswell . And there is something else: only a Z series chipset can oveclock an unlocked core I5 or I7 cpu. Consider waiting about one month after haswell release for prices to settle and all motherboards (including budget ones because that is what we're looking for) to be released. To be clear: buy a 4770k and any $100-150 z87 board other than thin pcbs asrock and you'l be all set.

Haswell isn't compatible with Z77 boards. You'll need a Z87 board, and we have no idea how well they perform at the time being.
