Future proof gets expensive and 600-800 is not a big budget.

While the 8400 has slightly better gaming performance (5%ish) than the 2600, the 2600 has twice as many threads that will help with multitasking. I would go with the 2600 just because you get more CPU for the money.

Future proof is hard to say, but based on Intel/AMD previous hardwrae refreshes, Intel changes sockets like I change underpants, while AMD has currenlty reported to be supporting AM4 until 2020. Saying that, I still have 1 AM3+ system going strong running Win10, as it's normally other components that need changing first.
