brute force.
Once you have your list of prime numbers:
For each prime number less than the user defined number, add it to each of the other prime numbers in your list. If the result of that comparison is equal to the user defined number, keep that pair.
Seems pretty simple, is that what you were looking for?

Also, if I understand you correctly, I think a better way to phrase your question would be:
Find all pairs of prime numbers, the sum of which equals a user defined value.
No?
