I would wait for the 3060 or pair it with a second hand 2000 series card as the second hand market is flooding with them.

You should for pairing with a 3070 but shouldnt because i5 on B460 can only run 2666MHz max. If you're gonna switch to Z490 boards then you might as well get a 10600k as well

The top ones can support max speed of 2933MHz. No point buying RAM any higher than that. 
Also, the i5 can absolutely handle the 3070. 
Watch this video if you have more doubts: 

 

PC: Acer Predator Helios 300: corei7-7700HQ, GTX 1050Ti 4GB, 8GB DDR4 2400MHz, 128GB SSD+1024GB HDD, Logitech G102 Prodigy+Circle Gaming Pro.
