good enough for gaming? with a h97 pro gamer and 8gb 1600mhz

That's a fine pick, but maybe a 4460, or 4590 but those won't increase performance by a whole lot.

The 4590 would be a better investment.

how is it differ from the 4430 can it increase performance by that much?

Its a newer processor, running on a newer revision. It carries higher clock speeds, as well as a better thermal design.
The performance may not be noticeable, but when you need the extra performance it will be there. It is worth the extra cost in comparison to replacing the other processor at a sooner date.

Not at all if you are on a budget. But like Gam3r01 said, it would be better if you have more performance than less when needed.
