So im sitting here and configuring a system for a customer, but im stuck in the cpu. The customer wont be overclocking and asks for the best performance for money while still being powerful. 

 

Is the i5-6400 the right choice then? :)

I would say the 4460 is the better option, and you save money on ram too.
