Tough call, but I'm leaning towards the Pentium. It has huge performance per clock advantages, but half the cores. If they were both on the same socket I would likely have recommended the i5, but socket 1155 has been out of production for a long time now.

Are you aware you would need a new motherboard for either of those CPU's?

yes i original motherboard=rs 4000
yes original 8gb 1333mhz ram = 3000
USED I5 2400 = RS 7300

WHAT YOU THINK G4400 OR I5 2400
WILL I5 2400 LAST GTX 660 ANOTHER 5 YEARS
OR G4400 GTX 660 UPGRADE TO I5 6500 OR NEW PROCESSOR LAUNCHED BY INTEL NEXT YEAR 2017
WHICH OPTION DO YOU THINK IS BEST AND WISE ?

It depends entirely on what your expectations are, but the i5 2400 is already 5 years old. 10 years is a long time to ask a motherboard to work, especially if it's a cheap one.
