First of all why get a 4770k? The 4790k for like the same price can boost itself to 4.4 or OC it to whatever you can better than you could a 4770k. In any case the highest recommended budget OC board is the Asrock extreme 4.

Do you have a full version of Windows? If you're running Windows 7 OEM, then you will need to purchase Windows 8.1 or a new Windows 7 license. But this is a decent CPU + motherboard combo.

I have msi z97 gaming 5 with i7 4790k,I won't go z97 gaming 3,because 3 and 5 have similar prices,so maybe you sould go gaming 5.

Microcenter offers deep discounts over anybody but is only available in stores (generally) so those arent particularly accurate price comparisons
