you should get an z87/97 board for OC'ing, then you can later in the future upgrade to 4690k/4790k etc...

And for cooler, what is your budget?

While technically the answer should be no per intel the answer is actually yes if you flash your bios to one that will unlock the necessary features such as the cpu multiplier

Just get the coolermaster hyper 212 evo for your cpu cooler

What brand would u prefer on z87/97 and what would you choose for me. And im in a tight budget btw. Or you think is it worth to get the higher one (z97). As for budget for cooler, ~$20-$30 i guess... What you think??

well I have no idea what the currency exchange rate is for that site but there isnt a lot available when I narrowed it down to cooling products. Is that the only method you have available for purchasing? You honestly could still OC with the stock cooler which isnt something that can be said very often.
