newegg.com . Just 10$ more but you will get the performance of an i7 * i7 4770
While it's pointless to pair i5 4690k with H81/B85/H87/H97 , you can pair Xeon with any mobo as long as it has 1150 socket
Now let me explain why it's pointless :
_You can't overclock i5 4690k without Z97 mobo
_It's true that you can sell i5 4690k alone at higher price than i5 4690 but what about the mobo ? You won't be able sell it along with that i5 at high price because no one will buy it if you do so
_i5 4690k isn't i5 4670k , i5 4690k belong to Haswell refresh line : Devil Canyon . Haswell refresh don't work with h81/B85/H87 unless that mobo has available bios update for new Haswell chips . In other words , both i5 4690 and i5 4690k won't run on that MSI H81 mobo
