I'm was wondering if there would a motherboard available to purchase below 100$ compatible with i5-4590, that has the potential to handle any future upgrades, to a new processor for example the "5th" gen. I'm not gonna do any sli or crossfire with it so..yeah, i just want to overclock it, which just came to mind, can the i5-4590 be overclocked?

Any z97 board. Its worth spending a bit more, as at around $120 you can get a board that supports SLI, ad around $110 one that supports xfire.

z97 boards support broadwell (5th gen) but you can't overclock the 4590 unless it is a k variant.

z97

and no you can't 'properly' OC a non-k processor. You can use the FSB but that usually leads to instability and really small overclocks.

If you want to OC just get a 4690k
