Hi guys i was just wondering if you could help me find a suitable motherboard to overclock and keep up with a i5 4690k. Obviously i will be overclocking it as its unlocked not sure what to yet but i will be. Im looking for a cheap good mobo not flashy but just a good motherboard that isnt too expensive and i wont have any troubles with. Here is the rest of my system specs just for safe measures:
Zotac gtx 970
i5 4690k
Antec gold rated 550w psu
2x4gb kingston ram
and a Zalman Z11 Plus HF1 Black & Red Mid Tower Case with Side Window case

Thanks for any help guys :)

Ah finally, a person using the Great British Pound. Rule Britannia.

Well at that price point, finding MoBo's that are designed for OC'ing is pretty tough, usually you have to encroach on the triple figures to get that.

However, here are some great 1150 ATX choices that should fit the bill for you:

MSI Z87 G43 ~ £60

ASUS Z97P ~£71

Gigabyte H97 D3H ~ £82
