ok so ive got a pre OCed gpu will i need to get a Z97 mobo? or can i get something cheaper? heres my build, im trying to make it cheap where it can be cheap but worth the money where it can be http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JKpCCJ thanks

overclocking is dependant on the gpu not the motherboard. And that would be fine. 

 

Although, if theres any chance you may want to SLI or XFIRE in the future then it would make sense to get a better motherboard -- Something like an MSI Z97 G55 SLI.
