4460 with GTX750 or 4160 with better GPU?

[Eduardo_1]

Well guys
It's time to diss my crap laptop and move on to a build that I hope will end my frustrations with games/overheating/etc... I got this case in my house that my GF gave me and intend on reusing it (some good airflow and some fans included though)
So I came across some builds and i would like if you guys could help me out:

1. does the AMD a10-7850k even compare to the cpus mencioned on the title?

2. 4160 with better GPU or 4460 with an gigabyte GTX750ti?

3. Should I wait a little more for some realeases?

I'm living in Portugal and my current build is the following (except for CPU and GPU):

Storage: Seagate 1TB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81-S2H
Ram:Hyper-x fury 2x4GB
PSU: Nox urano VX650

My understanding on this matter is limited, but as far as I know i don't intend to ''overclock'', and an SSD isn't really appealing to me, and also need to buy me a monitor, and keeping the cost down would help, considering I'm ''money sensitive'' sorry for any bad english or typo in advance xD

So what do you guys recommend?

1) No, not even close. The only AMD CPUs that hold a candle to Intel's i5s are the FX 6300 and 83xx chips, and even then, an i3 beats both of those in single-thread performance.

2) Depends on what you want to spend your money on. 4460 is a faster CPU, you won't be able to overclock the 4160 to match it, so it's the "better" CPU choice, but if it saves you enough to do a 4160 and maybe a GTX 950 or 960 instead of a 750 Ti, I'd go for that combination over a 4460 and a lesser card.

If you can do a 4460 and spend a tiny bit extra and get a 950 over the 750 Ti, I'd do that honestly, that's a nice power/price combination. Otherwise, I'd recommend a 4160 and either a 950 or 960, assuming your extra funds would go to the GPU.

3) Not much to "wait on" right now. The only thing you'd be waiting on would be maybe to get a i5-6400 Skylake instead, but then you'd have to find a board with DDR3 support, or find cheap DDR4 sticks. Honestly your route isn't a bad one, and it'd still be more than fast enough for most things.
