that should be fine, but they may be a better one but i don't have time to recommend one.

if it is, just pick up a h81 as it is probably cheaper.

That's similiar to what I have.  Just a different i5 4690s instead of 4660.  I don't see why it's shouldn't work.  I don't think you can overclock it since it's not an unlock processor.  But I think you should be good with it.

If you're talking about the 4460, there is a chance that it may not work because it is a Haswell Refresh chip which is not supported on B85 boards released prior to the release of refresh chips (therefore containing older BIOS). As the B85M-G does not feature USB BIOS Flashback, I'd suggest going for an H97 board instead for guaranteed compatibility.

That, or saved yourself a ton of money by getting the i5-4440 instead.

Good CPU and mobo combination. The only piece of advice that I would offer is if you are on a strict budget,a slightly slower CPU would work just fine. I have an i5-3350 and an MSI 7850, and the GPU is the limiting factor. Good luck!
