On a build, you will need more than a processor. Essentially saying that you will need to pair motherboard and ram into the build. That being said, what board do you currently have? Speaking of which, what is the specs tot he system you currently own?

It's a close call, one is 4 cores + 4 threads, other is 6 cores without HT. Neither can be OC'ed. Very, very similar performance overall.

That being said, go with 8400 since it is a newer platform.
