Hello,
I have bought g3258 and im looking for motherboard which:
Shouldnt be expensive, can push g3258 to the limit (OC), it could be used for future overclocking for i5 k and i7 k cpus.
 
There's probably more help for you in the motherboards forum. They even have a big G3258 OC on cheap boards thread.

Can't go wrong with Z97 if you really want to push for 4.8 ghz which is about as high as those things will go and if you want room for future upgrades. I like the ASRock Z97 Pro 4 personally:

The Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 has also shown up on the radar as a good cheap option:

MSI MPower Max Z87. Got this one for my G3258. Flashed the BIOS for G3258 and Haswell Refresh CPUs (easy as pie) prior to first boot and it worked perfectly. I love the motherboard way more than I do the G3258. Yeah, it doesn't have the couple of extras a Z97 does (M.2 and SATA Express), but if you have no intention of using them its a great buy. Has a ridiculous number of power phases (20) so it'll push a CPU about as far as it can go.
