You can theoretically get the i3 10100F from TigerDirect for $94. They are out of stock but they still let you order. It is a little sketchy given the history of the company but still legit.

Like a 12th gen Intel or next series Ryzen with a better graphics card (like a GTX 3060) when the price come back down to earth.

Otherwise, you're probably looking at a new system all together.
Maybe a 15-20 percent improvement, not bad, but your GPU will be the bottleneck. Still, not a bad upgrade chance for you since your MB has the same socket, I'm still on an 1150 so i would have to replace my mobo too.

While it is the same socket, you should make sure that your HP proprietary motherboard can support this chip, because there is a slim chance it may not. While the 8th and 9th gen share the same chipsets, older boards that were originally designed with the 8th gen in mind had to have firmware upgrades to support the 9th gen chips.
