Save some money by getting a H97 motherboard instead. You cannot overclock that CPU with the Z97.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Thanks for the Response Sir How ever i'm not an overclocker guy :)

Exactly. The Z97 motherboard is meant for overclocking. The H97 is for locked CPUs (like the i5 4460 you want to upgrade to).

OIC I got confused cause the Z97 is much cheaper than the H97 Here at my country 

Eh, in that case, keep the Z97.

 

Yes, it is a worthy upgrade.
