Hey guys, im almost ready for building my new mini-itx/micro-atx PC with a H60 water cooling, 4690k processor. But i dont know which motherboard to choose, i want to be sure of 1 thing. It NEEDS to allow me to overclock my gpu and my cpu. Can someone say me, which chipsets allow overclocking?
(pls dont send me links of motherboards, just tell me which ones are overclockable)

For the i5 4690k under Socket 1150, the Intel Z97 would be the current chipset that fully supports overclocking. The older chipset that did that was the Intel Z87 chipset, but it I would stick with the Z97 unless price is very important to you and you can get a killer deal.

That is for the CPU. As far as the GPU goes, you can overclock them on any chipset.

Keep in mind that when you overclock it puts a greater load on the power supply, so pick a good one.

My question: my mobo needs a 8pin for the cpu power, and a 24 pin for... the mobo itself i guess

My psu (supernova gs 650w 80+ gold fully modular.
it doesnt has a 24pin...which ones do i need to use to get 24 pins?
!!! I havent bought the psu yet, i can still change !!!

Yes, it will work fine. The EVGA GS series is one of the best power supplies available, although it is expensive. As long as you only run one video card, it can handle it well.
