Possible upgrade to AMD Phenom II XT 1090t

Hi All,

Could someone who is much more knowledgeable than me advise of any possible upgrade to my CPU please.

I currently have an AMD Phenom II XT 1090t (I know AMD, but money….). I’ve had this for at least 8 years. I only use my PC for iRacing and a bit of web design so don’t need anything ground-breaking, just wondering if there was a worthwhile upgrade in the £50 - £100 range?

The motherboard is an ASUS Crosshair IV Formula which I believe is an AM3 socket. I’ve updated other main parts of the system over the years to the following:

1050ti
16GB Ram
SSD

Apparently, iRacing is fairly CPU intensive so I definitely think my old CPU is the bottleneck at the moment. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
