So Im going to build pc soon and I have a prebuilt pc that has an i7 and I would like to reuse it because Im going to play games that are very demanding and a new i7 would be expensive so would I be able to reuse the i7?

Yes, you would be able to re-use the i7, but you will need to find a motherboard that has the right socket for the particular i7 you're going to use. Do you know what i7 it is, exactly?
