The absolute cheapest would be something like this for $73: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/BLW9TW/asrock-motherboard-z97anniversary One reviewer claims to have hit 4,4Ghz on it. However a higher quality motherboard will make you achieve higher stable overclocks easier, so jumping up an additional $20 or $30 might make your life easier if you want the 4.5Ghz more than the 4.0 Ghz.

SOME MINOR OVERCLOCKING SHOULD BE FINE , but you won't get huge results it only has a 4 phase design.

Right now I have a deal for a i5 4690k and a Msi h81m-e33 for 210$, I think I'll go with that and if I ever need overclocking I might try a bit on that board

That BOARD may need a BIOS update to run that CPU.

Do you think if I need a bios update, microcenter can do that for me
Is that board complete trash for overclocking

It's a H81 , not for overclocking.

Z boards are for OC.

Do I even need to overclock it if I pair it with a 970

Is there a cheap Matx board for overclocking
