That depends on the game. What games do you play? In CPU heavy titles you may get a good increase in average FPS and likely a even larger increase in 1% and 0.1% FPS lows assuming your 460 was being somewhat held back by the 860k in that game. The 860k may not bottleneck a 460 very much in many less cpu heavy games, in those switching to a ryzen 1200 may not make too much of a difference.

well it's not exact, but your roughly talking about a 20% increase in just IPC alone. The x4 has a higher clock rate, but the 1200 does more with a lower clock speed. Gaming will be about 20% better. Multicore workloads is a bit less, about 10%, because the x4 does have four cores too. But gaming for example would be a lot smoother with the Ryzen. You obviously need a new mobo/ram to accopmany the Ryzen. But it's worth it. Gives you an upgrade path too. Plus the Ryzen is overclockable.

It depends on the games you play.
For fast action shooters, the gain may not be much.
To see how sensitive your games are to single thread performance, run this test:
in windows power management, limit the maximum cpu% to something like 70%.
Go to control panel/power options/change plan settings/change advanced power settings/processor power management/maximum processor state/
This will simulate what a lack of cpu power will do.
Conversely what a 30% improvement in core speed might do.
