We can't see the second setup (the one with i5) your links are wrong. No you can't overclock the i5 because non-K series are locked. However even without overclocked the i5 is a whole damn lot better than the 860k without a doubt (doesn't matter if its OCed or not).

Thanks, link is fixed now.
Then can you tell me which setup is better overall?
I would build my own computer, but I don't have enough time to do so.

To be completely honest, the i5 4460 would be better than the Athlon. And believe me overclocking the Athlon is a real pain, you need a aftermarket cooler to get it to a decent clock speed without crashing your pc.

If you're not on a budget, my advice is the avoid AMD if possible.
I finished my new build yesterday, went from AMD setup to Intel and I gotta say, in just 1 game I tested (without v-sync, to test hardware) there is a +130fps difference on highest settings, which says enough. (from FX8350 to I7 6700k)

If you truly need a multi-tasking beast (gaming, streaming, rendering, applications, music all at once), a 5820k for instance is very good (6 core), much better than any +4 cores AMD cpu.

To answer the overclock question: yes, you can overclock non-K versions but you are limited at the multiplier (which you need to raise to overclock in BIOS/UEFI). So you can't OC as high with a unlocked (K-version) CPU from Intel.
