what's your budget, and also AMD FX is now dead, since they have left their Vishera line to go work on their FM2 Socket/APUs.

If you plan on OCing, get the i5 4690k with a CM hyper 212 evo or a Cryorig H7 Universal. Those are just for mild OCing though. If you don't plan on OCing, either pick between the i5 4590 or the 4460, they should offer similar performance across the board, and it's just what you want most. But cheaper is better as you can invest in better RAM like a 8gb 1600 ripjaw x, although getting better RAM is optional.
 
CPUboss isn't super accurate, and it seems he is trying to go for the cheaper option, but what i7Baby posted above is still a very helpful, and while I don't like to go to CPUboss all that much, at least there is a general perspective on both sides.
