You may need a BIOS update with Z87 or B85. With Z97, it should work out of the box.
Ideally , you should pair the i5 4690k with a Z97 or Z87 motherboard so you have overclocking as an option for the cpu.
You don't really need the VI Hero as your motherboard as there are cheaper motherboard such as the Asus Z97-A or MSI Gaming 5 which are decent Z97 motherboards.
