you'll need a z87/97 Chipset for serious OC.

Not at all. Motherboard choice barely matters for OC level now unless you go ridiculous/extreme which you will not.

 

All updated asus H81, H87, H97 and B85 support OC'ing for one and there are other brands which have followed this to an extent.

 

If you want to be completely safe on OC-ability then get Z97

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Easily. MSI Z97 PC MATE. It's not the best looking nor does it have a TON of features but it will get the job done easily.

I know, but I don't like to recommend it because Intel could close this "bug" any time they want.

It's not a bug at all. Also no they could not. You need to hardlock OC'ing in the chipset to prevent the unlocking of OC's on lesser chipsets.
