They will all work Z87 will need a BIOS update prior to using the 4690k though

IMO this is the best bang for your buck board you can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132125

 

I have been using it for 4 mouths now & it's been awesome for me!

That looks good, but a little over my budget.

$200+ motherboard and "Bang for your buck" don't really go well together.

OP, you'll need a "Z" motherboard to overclock.  Z97 will work out of the box, Z87 will probably work out of the box but may need a BIOS update.
