With Skylake you'll have a much better upgrade path if you want to spend the extra money later on.
Afaik the next CPUs codenamed Kaby Lake are based on the same socket.

If you don't want to upgrade after 1 or 2 years, then I would suggest you get the i5-4460. That shoud keep your rig running for around 3-4 years.

The i3 is only two cores. Look up what games are now looking for 4 cores and be aware that that is going to only get worse as it ages. I'd stick with a 4 core cpu.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!
