Any Z97 is able to overclock. But it really depends on how far you want to push it. If you are a beginner then you may want to look into an Asus Z97-A, forgive its design though.
It is a budget mobo able to help you to get past 4GHz easily.

Yes that's what I was looking at first, but with my $450 budget I would have to stick a g3258 in there at first. Could you put together a $450 build with an overclockable i5, but I dont need a discrete GPU, the integrated graphics will be pleanty.

An overclockable i5 cannot be included in there.

OK yes, I have already put together a very similar build. So is the Pentium G3258 still a fast enough cpu to run daily task fluidly using just the integrated GPU?

You will want a Z97 board if you want to overclock an i5 later.
The Antec High Current Gamer 520W isn't Haswell compatible.

Or do you suggest I go with this build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/N9ZvNG ) and then upgrade to the i5 4670k?
