Between those, I'd definately go for the 8500GT because it had something like double the bandwidth of the 8400GS, and a larger bus. Also, it's a bigger card (assuming you're getting the 512 instead of the 256).

I have a 8500 GT in my other comp. It's not bad, 1 can run tf2 and cs:s pretty well. And i played the crysis demo on them and i remember it didnt look that bad.
