So i have a crappy ASUS A55M-E and was wondering if a i5 4690k will fit on it?

No, It will not. You need a LGA 1150 Intel board.

nope. different sockets between the mobo & cpu. you need a socket LGA1150 mobo if you want this to work.

Also, it is best to get a board that is capable of overclocking, such as a Z97, as that is an unlocked chip.

Could any of you's recommend a mobo around 100-150?

The ASUS Z97-A is a pretty good board and can be had for as little as about $119 USD last I looked.
