The 4460 is the most logical chip to get here.

The other two are simply compromises tbh, hear me out

i3 - good chip, but only 2 cores with HT, and HT cores arent as good as 4 physical cores by any means.

FX8 - simply old, 4 modules (bleh), requires expensive motherboard if you wanna OC it a lot, probably requires a better than stock cooler (those damned AMD stock coolers)

 

The 4460 on the other hand is a true quad core, with good performance per core, and it comes in at a great price.

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

4460 is the best out of all of em. 4 cores > 2 cores. 8320 old architecture but great overclocker, just weak single thread performance.

 

That title though, I wouldn't be surprised if the marketing team of Intel and AMD started putting "Gaming" in their product lineups in the future.
