best budget mobo to overclock intel i5 4670k

[itixmix]

I know you cant really have a "best" cheap motherboard, but can you guys suggest something around £80 that will allow me to safely OC the 4670k,

I also plan to SLI/Crossfire in future so take that into consideration when you pick this board.

(And if possible ensure it is supported by a hackintosh)

thanks!

Go with ASRock Z87 Extreme4. Great VFM (even though it exceeds your budget, $140).

Is there any other boards from other manufactures such as msi/asus (I would also prefer the board to be blue/black)

Yes. You can look for:
ASUS Z87 PLUS
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

Thanks for the reply,

I quite dig the msi one,
So I am assuming that the Z87 series mobo are the ones designed for OCing intel CPUs?
how does the naming work, I am used to amd

Yes. Z87 are for OCing/Gaming.

Here is an article which explains the naming of Haswell Motherboard Chipsets:
