Motherboard options for i5 2500k and overclocking

Managed to get a i5 2500k for $100 and now I am looking for some motherboards to get.

 

I am not looking to do much overclocking maybe around 4.2Ghz to 4.4Ghz if that makes a difference

 

If I remember correctly Z68 and Z77 chipsets are the only overclocking motherboards for 1155 correct? 

 

I have a R9 270, 650w Rosewill Hive PSU and Xigmatek Gaia CPU cooler. PSU is about 2 years old now when I bought it in Jan 2014.

You should be able to hit that goal easily on a mid level 1155 board, especially sandybridge. ASRock extreme 4s were good back then for modest OCing.

5800X3D / ASUS X570 Dark Hero / 32GB 3600mhz / EVGA RTX 3090ti FTW3 Ultra / Dell S3422DWG / Logitech G815 / Logitech G502 / Sennheiser HD 599

2021 Razer Blade 14 3070 / S23 Ultra

Z75 and Z77 are the Overclocking ones, i think. Any other requirements? Crossfire? Colour?

Budget Rig "Curable":     | FX 6300 @4.5Ghz | Asus R9 270x | Asus Crosshair IV Extreme | 16GB HyperX Beast | 120GB PNY SSD
 

Tablet "Buddy":                 Trekstor Wintron 10.1|

No crossfire. Color black and blue would be nice as I am coming from a Asus M5A97 R2.0. 4 Ram Slots because I have 16 GB 1866 Ram.
