Depends on what you define as "best". I think the Gigabyte G1 Gaming is one of the highest clock speed ones which has great cooling.

My Rigs:

It will work brilliantly. I'm running the locked 4690.

My G1 can do 1565Mhz in most games but not completely stable, 1506Mhz is 99% stable but has artifacts on Witcher3, 1450Mhz is stable across ALL my games.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

if the 4460 is the same price and usually is that would like 3-5% better, but both are good, but go for the cheaper of the two
