PC newbie here.. I dont know much about motherboards and I was wondering if Anybody here knows a cheap DECENT gaming motherboard that is good for overclocking gpu? for intel i5 4th gen cpu?

Cheap is relative. What is your budget?

The ASRock Z87 Pro3 ($85) is pretty cheap and overclocks. It supports a large range of RAM speeds, but does not SLI/Crossfire.

ASRock Z87 Extreme3 ($100) overclocks and has support for SLI and Crossfire.

ASRock Z97 Extreme3 ($110) overclocks,has support for SLI/Crossfire and supports intel 5th gen.

I would recommend the ASRock Z97 Extreme3 or 4. They both support Crossfire and SLI, just the latter has an extra PCI-E slot and a few more USBs.

It should be illegal for a poster to not select a best answer when there are clearly good answers...and it happens all the time!

I have that motherboard on my first build and quite frankly I really wish I would have went for a motherboard that supported SLI. The performance to price ratio on grabbing a second GPU is much better than upgrading to another single GPU.
