Should I get i3-4160 or i5-4460 to pair with rx460 (2gb) for gaming?
I have H81M E33 mobo and thinking to upgrade next year to Kaby Lake.
Maybe, it is a good idea to get i5 and keep it, upgrading only gpu next year, but according to cpuboss 4460 supports up to 2gb gpu.

And i3 is half the price of i5 now.
 
Solution
Both cpus will be fine with the rx460, but the i5 should last you a bit longer and can be paired with something like a gtx 1060 in the future for example.

Also keep in mind i5 4460 etc should be found cheap second hand.
