You can on some, apparently, but the Z97 boards are designed for OCing and will yield better OC results. 

 

I would go for one of these:

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97g55sli

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97xsli

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97g45gaming

 

Main reason being; if you ever decide to run 2 R9-280 graphics cards (or any 2 GPUs) later on, you'll have the ideal setup with two PCIe slots at 8x instead of one at 16x and one at only 4x.

 

They're also better/nicer boards overall with more features for little extra cost.

Use the bbcode export instead of markdown for pcpartpicker when linking your build. You could alternatively just use the permalink. 

No psu?
