Asus has enabled overclocking on their H-series chipsets from this and the last generation. Not sure about other brands tho...

Core i7 4820K  |  NH-D14 | Rampage IV Extreme | Asus R9 280X DC2T | 8GB G.Skill TridentX | 120GB Samsung 840 | NZXT H440  |  Be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650W

Your budget can't spend the 40 euros for the Z97? You'd be much better served by getting the right board right from the start. Or get a cheaper Z97 board instead of the Killer. Asus has a few good ones much cheaper than 165 Euro as does Gigabyte.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!
