FM2+ was a failure from the beginning, you would be better off scrapping that and selling/buying new. Your best bet on FM2+ would be an Athlon X4 860K can find them for cheap on ebay.

You shouldn''t really have bothered getting new RAM. £100 isn't much for a CPU upgrade since you should really be looking at a socket upgrade. Best possible upgrade with your current motherboard;

If you hadn't bought 8GB DDR3 RAM, you could manage to get a Pentium G4560 with 8GB RAM and an H110 motherboard.
Your best bet now IMO is to buy a used Haswell based system with your £100 and take the CPU and mobo from it for your system. Here's one that sold for your budget;
32GB RAM and a Xeon E3-1226 V3, which is a quad core Haswell based CPU, so it will perform basically on par with an i5-7400.
Also, here is an i5-4430 with motherboard and some other bits for £95;

The i5-4430 is a lower clocked Xeon E3-1226 V3.
