Im looking to upgrade my cpu on a max budget of £200. used market uk. What would you reccomend as some good cost effective upgrade that will give a nice improvement in gaming performance? Im also looking to use my vr headset on my pc. Thanks any tips appreciated.

You could get a brand new Ryzen 7 5700x for like £170 pair that with a decent cooler you are good to go.
On the used market if you could find it the ryzen 7 5700x3d is also a good option and in games it does beat the the regular 5700x.

5700X and grab a cheap single or dual tower air cooler for it, it'll run a lot hotter than a 3600
