Hey guys, So I'm going to upgrade my CPU in January, and I'm thinking, should I get the 4460 or 4590, or the 4690? I have a B85 motherboard, and don't plan to overclock... Mainly using the CPU for gaming.

Thanks in Advance

I'm pretty sure the performance between the 3 is marginal. the 4460 will do fine with any gpu that's sensible to pair with it.

4460 is your best bet since it's slightly cheaper.

 

If you can go for the 4690, I say go for it.

Overclocking = 4690K

General Use = 4460

4590 = No one uses this imo

If you have a microcenter near you, they have a 4690k for $199.99 when its usually like $240. And in my opinion will get you much better performance out of it since you can overclock if you please.

I can't speak to the 4690k directly, since I have never tried it. But I can tell you that you most definitely can overclock a 4790k on B85, so I don't really see how a 4690k would be any different in that regard.
