What mobo is it? A Z97- (what)

If you what an asus board go with the Maximus VII hero or gene. About the best you can get if your wanting to overclock the 4690k.

That's what I need help with idk what the different letters are after the z97

Anything after the Z97- is just referring to the model number, you would have to look to see if the capabilities and features of the board are what you are looking for.

Some of their boards are titled, like the aforementioned Maximus VII Hero. Here you need to check the specs to see what chipset (also a Z97), but still check the capabilities and features of the board.

Yes I was thinking about the z97-a is that good for overclocking

Look to the Asus Z97-A - good all around mobo, a step up is the Asus Z97 Pro Gamer then on up to the Hero

What's the difference in the -A and the pro ?

Some minor features, number of ports, audio, depends - here's the comparison page (you listed the Pro, included it and the Pro Gamer in case 😉 )
