Processor - i3 4150 / i3 6100 - 8200/8850
Motherboard - Asus B85M-G / B150M D3H - 5700/8000 (You can opt for H81/H110 (3800/5800) chipset if you want to cut cost)
Memory - Kingston/Corsair/G Skill 8GB DDR3/ DDR4 - 3000/3200
PSU - Antec VP450P / Seasonic Eco 430 / Seasonic S12 II Bronze 430 - 2500/3300/4000 (Corsair PSU for your build is not that popular/not rated good. If still you want to stick with Corsair you can check out CX430/430M, CS450, RM450 price range from 2800-6500)
Cabinet - Generic ~1200 (Corsair cabinet price starts from 3500/- and up)

The choice you make with cabinet and PSU defines what build/motherboard combo you can afford in this budget.

The choice of motherboard B85 or B150 depends on what gen i3 you pick. The reason I put them in different colour font is to avoid confusion.
Since you're gonna go for the Antec PSU and generic cabinet, you can very well afford i3 6100.

* Depends on your preference/availability you can buy from one of these brand. Kingston, Corsair, G skill.

i5 4460, even with this your budget may likely to shoot up. i5 4690 will sure make you to shell out lot more than you initially planned.
Wait for someone to comment, if this PSU is good enough for i5 or not. I am not sure about it and I don't remember anyone cheap out on PSU when going for i5. It's either people go for quality PSU when opt of i5 or i5 itself demands higher PSU (though I doubt it) or their gaming needs demands better PSU. Whatever it is, wait and confirm. While waiting why don't you do some research?
