Solution
No, you can't overclock the i5 4460 by it's frequency. You might be able to gain a few Mhz by overclocking the fsb but that overclocks the whole system .
And i think you will not see much difference with few mhz. ( 0-1 fps)

i had np in low 1080p with i7 920 (o/c to 3,8ghz) , 6gb ram , r9 270x
So depends on which your gpu is . ( and i think its the only part which needs upgrade at this moment for pubg)

Also install the game on ssd if you havent .

Is it possible to overclock the 4460 or not without the K in the processor ?
Also Pubg is on my ssd.Though userbenchmark says it's underperforming for some reason i can't understand.

Suggest you wait a few months for the latest bitcoin craze to blow over. Or hunt really hard to find a card that is not $100 over list. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ethereum-effect-graphics-card-prices,34928.html
