I really could use some help picking a motherboard. I started a partpicker but can't decide what MB for a 4670K CPU. I would like to overclock. As far as dual GPUs probably not. Price range under $200. Also a plus is a easy OC feature. What kind of OC can I get with the suggested MB with the 4670K.
Need help choosing a motherboard.

You don't need a $200 motherboard. I would get the ASRock Z87 Extreme4. Allows for great overclocking, SLI if you want (great upgrade option). It only costs around $130, so you can use the difference to get a better GPU (or a better cooler, which would allow you to overclock higher than "better" motherboards anyway - You will not get a higher clock on a more expensive motherboard at this price point, your CPU will be the "bottleneck" for max frequency in this scenario)
As for easy overclocking, I've read the OCing profiles rival those of quality ASUS boards.

Yes that is it but if going for a budget board I would get this Asrock Fatal1ty killer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157460

I'd also recommend the Fatal1ty Killer. Whichever you can get for less. (Extreme4 vs Fatal1ty Killer) I just don't think there's any need for the Maximus Hero.
