The 4460 is a solid processor and will work fine. However you're really bottlenecking yourself with either of those GPU's. As far as mid-range cards go, the 960 and 280 compete in price and the 280 is a superior card in performance, so if you have the money, I recommend getting a r9 280.

As far as a motherboard goes, I would go with this (also sold on Newegg, but it's $2 more)

I'll second an R9 280 (assuming your PSU can handle it) and that Gigabyte motherboard.

As far as the future of gaming goes, who knows? Future-proofing is relative as you could stick with the same hardware and simply lower the graphical fidelity to improve performance. It all depends on how demanding you are and what you expect from your gaming experience.
