Getting the i3 6100 and i7 2600k would require changing the motherboard since it needs 6th gen and 2nd gen motherboard respectively.
Getting the i5 4460 does not require you to change motherboard since it is the same socket and it will be a noticeable upgrade from the Pentium G3258 you have.

Um, your CPU socket is LGA 1150, from the ones you listed you can only get the 4460 to fit in your current motherboard...

Well considering only the i5-4460 will fit your current socket that may be your best choice.

If you get the i3-6100 you'd need a new board and DDR4 memory. The 2600K needs an LGA1155 board which are outdated and scarce. The i5-4460 will probably drop right in to the board you have and use your DDR3 too.

Hi, it depends, really. If you're planning on keeping the same motherboard you can't use the i3 6100 on that socket. (At least what I've read.)
The i5 4460 has better single core rendering, but the i7 2600k has better performance overall. I'd go with the i5 4460, since you don't play many other games that require heavy cpu load. If you play cs go the most, it does have multicore rendering so the i7 2600k is great, but for WoW and Dota 2, the i5 4460 is fit.

For heavier games: i7 2600k
For the games you play now i5 4460 <----- I'd go with that.

Note: If you like to play games a lot and enjoy them at max FPS, I'd recommend upgrading to something better than those three choices. Also, when posting for computer builds, I recommend giving full details for your computer builds. Like Case, motherboard, processor, video card, and psu. Rather than just the cpu and video card. A lot of the time when you are upgrading computers, your PSU may not be able to handle the voltages needed for the cpu and I personally have encountered that issue and had to get a better psu when I upgraded from a dual core 3.0 ghz processor and a 1gb ram video card to the amd FX-8350(4.0 w/ 4.6 potential OC) and the radeon r7 370 (4g ram).
