There are a few installs you may need to apply for ASP.NET MVC 5 support in Visual Studio 2012. Update 4 seems to include the Web Tools update now.

You don't have to install the full Windows 8.1 SDK if you are just looking for the option to build web applications, just the .NET Framework 4.5.1 option in the installer. The full install is about 1.1 GB, but just the .NET installer is only 72 MB.
