I would suggest then waiting until early March. Nvidia leaks suggest the 1080ti launch and repricing of all their old GPU's. AMD is sure to follow suit and match Nvidia on price changes. Still the 460 should be fine so how about the 4GB versions?

I believe it will tbh, Anything AMD prior to Ryzen is pretty trash. the 460 isn't the best card but I think it will out preform a x4 750k anyday. So you will more than likely get a bottleneck with that CPU and GPU combo compared to lets say a i7-6700k with a rx 460, The I7 will out preform it a shit ton meaning there is bottleneck.. Anyways I suggest waiting for Ryzen to come out, It looks very promising there is a huge variety of CPU's releasing on Ryzen Architecture.

also Upgrading to a i3-7100 would be a waste as a kabylake i5 will out preform it by far for a tiny bit extra cost.

Yes your CPU will but not enough to matter. The Ryzen is set to launche between Feb 28 to March 2 so you should know soon. If you plan to move upto Ryzen then just go ahead and get a good GPU like the 470. The 470 is only about $50 more and way faster.

1050 Ti is 160? I would say that's your best bet, Its performance is about 10% less of a rx 470 and for a lot cheaper where you are at.

I still recommend waiting till Ryzen though. But if not a 1050 Ti will be plenty good enough for a x4 750k.

He already has the rx460 4gb, good little card for the money.

Yeah wait for Ryzen and we'll see what the 4 core options are like. Then you'll be on a modern socket and ram format for future upgrades until 2020 (as far as we currently know)

The other option is to move to the intel platform, though i'd be recommending the lower i5's over the i3 anyway just for some slight future proofing, though in that case the Ryzen may win on grounds of being overclockable.
