Unless BIOS update, he can send a message to the people he is buying from to FLASH the BIOS to the newest BIOS update can't he? I personally agree in getting a H97/Z97 to take advantage of saving time, but also being a being able to support 5th Gen Intel Cores.

Not the only problem, not much point putting a K series chip in a motherboard that can't overclock. Even with a BIOS hack it wasn't intended for it and wouldn't be able to push the chip that far.

If there is no intention of overclocking. An i5-4460 or i5-4590 and an H97 board would be my recommendation.

Yes, but only enables it. The motherboard doesn't really have the right VRM circuitry or cooling to handle overclocking well. Only a small 3 phase VRM, and a very small heatsink. Z97 boards have 8 or more VRM phases and much larger heatsinks.
