Motherboard able to overclock.

I currently own a i5-4690k and as Motherboard I currently have a AsRock H97 PRO4. Which doesn't support overclocking. So I am looking for an upgrade to be able to overclock at a reasonable price, I am looking for a Black and blue color scheme. Thanks.

Get any Z97 motherboard and you'll probs be able to OC it to around 4.4-5 GHz. Maybe the ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 if you want to go with your color scheme but U might call it a bit pricey at 160 bucks.

You may want to do some research before buying a new board.  My wife has a H97M Pro4 with a 4670k and by running a older BIOS she has full control of both the multiplier and voltages, a Z97 board probably would OC higher because of the better power delivery but she has no problem running at 4.2GHz.  The latest BIOS version completely blocks overclocking because Intel threw a temper tantrum but there's a few H-series boards that support K-series CPUs if you use a older version.
