AFAIK the 8400 and 2600 are roughly equal speeds in games. If I had to pick one I'd go with the R5, mainly because you'll have a better upgrade path in the future.

2600, mobos are cheaper, you can overclock it, same performance for less money, doesn't comes with an useless GPU to inflate the price, oh and upgradeability because intel 8th gen boards will be considered "obsolete" at the end of this year because of a firmware lock that will prevent users from upgrading the CPU to whatever Intel comes up with this year.

ASUS X470-PRO • R7 1700 4GHz • Corsair H110i GT P/P • 2x MSI RX 480 8G • Corsair DP 2x8 @3466 • EVGA 750 G2 • Corsair 730T • Crucial MX500 250GB • WD 4TB

If you want PC to play just games then intel build will be good choice
