Is the Intel i5 4460 any good?

[Zdos123]

Is the Intel i5 4460 any good and would it bottleneck the AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB.

It will not bottleneck and is fine for gaming.

If you already have a LGA1150 socket mobo, that is. If you haven't bought anything yet, a new Skylake (LGA1151) motherboard with a i5-6500 is your best option.

No, it won't. Well, it might in a few games but you should still be fine.

It depends on what your expectations are. In new AAA games such as Battlefield and GTA V, you're not going to get 60fps and would need a more expensive CPU. However, if you're only looking for 40-50fps it's probably fine.

I personally would not buy an older generation discontinued CPU unless I got a screaming deal on it.

Any good lga 1150 CPU's under £200/ at £200? (LGA1150 because can't find any afordable ddr3 boards for lga1151)?

LGA1151 doesn't support DDR3, only DDR3L and DDR4. DDR4 at this point is priced similarly to DDR3 and over time will become cheaper as DDR3 supply continues to drop off and dry up.

Considering 1150 is discontinued and 3 years old now, I would suggest you consider throwing your RAM up on eBay and moving to DDR4 if changing motherboards - it probably won't cost you anything overall. Skylake is more power efficient, faster per clock, and priced similarly at the same clockspeeds as Haswell CPUs.

Any good lga1150 cpu's under £200/ at £200?

Appears to be cheaper than the 4590, the 4690 is under 200gbp.

something like an i5 4690(k) are very good, should be around that price on pcpartpicker, and will run any game for a good amount of time.

All are good; it depends on what you need done.

If you already have an overclockable lga1150 motherboard, then a I5-4690K is about as good as it gets.
If you are buying used, then lga1150 may well be a good value.

If you are buying new, then you will get more for the same money with the newer gen lga1151.
