Hi guys, i'm buying a i5-4670k and need a new motherboard! Some people are saying that a Z87 chipsets will be a good for me, but most of the Z87 are too expensive for my actual budget!

I was doing some research and found some Z87 and they respective price in my local dealership with the best prices:

*GA-Z87M-D3H ($ 211,50)

*GA-Z87-D3HP ($244,00)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4519#ov

*GA-Z87-HD3 ($ 214,00)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4489#ov

*Asus Z87M-Plus ($247,50)

Since Z87 Motherboards are quite expensive i found a H87 from intel quite interesting:

* Intel DH87MC ($206,00)

So i want ur opinion guys, does the price really worth buying one of those Z87? Or can someone recommend another MB with a good pricing, with good features (can suggest another chipsets tho ;P)?

I think you meant Z87, not Z78 in your post.
As a practical matter, Z87 is the only way to go to allow overclocking of a "K".
Some motherboards with lesser chipsets have implemented overclocking the cpu, but Intel is rapidly closing that loophole.
I would not count on it.
You might look at M-ATX sized motherboards, they are generally less expensive, just with fewer expansion slots.
Here is an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157368
