Obviously the best (faster) of these processors is i5-6600k.

But if you dont need to overclock, you dont need a "k" series. You can get the i5-6400.

And the i5-4460 still a nice CPU too.

PS: Keep in mind that i5-6xxx CPU's work better with DDR4 RAM.
PS2: Overclocking involves a risk, so, there is some things to be scared. Too much vcore or temperature can destroy your CPU. But if you're carefull, there should be no problems.

Clock speed doesn't determine whether a CPU is better than another.

i5-6400 is 6th gen (Skylake) while i5-4460 is 4th gen (Haswell). The first one should have about 7-15% more performance over the second one.
