The motherboard just needs to have decent quality and not be a thin early gen board. Honestly overclocking is more CPU dependent, some chips clock better than others. All you can really do is make sure it's well cooled and give it a Z77 platform.

Here is a list of Z77 boards, usually I stick with Asus, ASRock, Gigabtye, and MSI in that order (all good companies) just look through each board in a new tab and see if it has all the features you want.
