You can't overclock that CPU.

As you do not have a k series CPU nor a z series motherboard.

Your cannot overclock your CPU.

Then maybe any suggestion to which CPU to upgrade? With potential overclocking

The H81 chipset does not support cpu overclocking.
Past that, for whatever reason, I do not see a I5-4460 as a supported cpu for your motherboard; likely just a documentation glitch:
https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H81M-P33#support-cpu
The I5-4460 has 4 threads and a passmark rating of 4953 when all 4 threads are fully utilized. The single thread rating is 1871.
Your strongest upgrade would be i7-4770K which sells for $110 or so on ebay.
It has 8 threads and a rating of 7148/2142.

Past that, you are looking at not only a modern cpu but also a new motherboard and ddr4 ram.
