According to what I see, those two CPUs will require different motherboards. Were you aware of that? Or am I wrong?
The I5 4460 uses a Socket 1150: http://ark.intel.com/products/80817/Intel-Core-i5-4460-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz
The I3 3220 uses a Socket 1155: http://ark.intel.com/products/65693/Intel-Core-i3-3220-Processor-3M-Cache-3_30-GHz

Any graphics card will be compatible with either one, although someone with more gaming knowledge should be able to point you to one that's decently matched to those CPUs and those games.

I have i5 4460 paired with gtx 970.
Work really good, all ultra,60fps+, except in some games. Crysis 3, welcome to the jungle cpu bottleneck (50-30fps), H1Z1, in towns cpu bottleneck, 45 fps, outside 110-120,
BF4 80-110 fps all max...
I say amd r280x or gtx 970, or gtx 960 or r 290
your budget?
