Solution
I would go with a used 4790 and drop it into your current system. If you go with a new CPU from Intel or AMD, you will need a new platform (CPU, Mobo, and RAM). The platform cost will stretch past $300 for a decent upgrade over your current 4460. But a 4790 will work with your current hardware and is still a decent CPU.
