If you mean brand new as in one of the more recently released CPUs, then the 2600 most likely

There will always be a bottleneck.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

If you already have the i5-6400, then without changing the motherboard you can look for an i7-6700 or an i7-7700.
If you want to change the motherboard as well, then I'd recommend getting a 6-core Ryzen CPU.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White

Such as a Ryzen 5 2600?

Ryzen 5 1600, 1600X, 2600 or the 2600X. The 1600 and 2600 should be the best value.

i5-6400 is still doing fine with GTX1080 I think.

 

but if you want no bottleneck at all then either i5-8400 or r5-2600x.

Remember that you need a new motherboard too.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

Any decent B450 will do the job even if you will overclock. MSI B450 Tomahawk/Asus ROG B450-F/Gigabyte B450 Auros Pro.
