Save a little more and build on a new platform.

For $60-80 you can get an i5 or for $90-140 you can get an i7. For $80-130 you can probably get an GTX 1060 3 or 6GB or GTX 970 for even cheaper, but the 970 requires 2x6pin PCIE which could mean buying a new PSU. I would aim for an i5 and GTX 1060 6GB which will probably be around $180. If you can find a good deal on an i7-4770 that is within your budget for both the CPU and GPU, take it.

You will need to save another $150-200 to upgrade the platform to use a Ryzen 5 and upgrade the GPU.

that's some good suggestion but unfortunately the prizes in my country are way too high! and I can't get anything from amazon or something like because I don't have a credit card 🙁 any other suggestions please?

What is the i5 model? You might have to update your motherboards bios before you can use it. Check this list for CPU compatible with your motherboard. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z87-GD65-GAMING#support-cpu

What country are you in? If we can see prices, and websites you have available to purchase from, there might be some here with more familiarity with your region, which will help point you in the right direction.

Im from algeria
I buy from this website : fractal-shop.com
and if i want to buy used things I went to shops around here ( where i found the i5 4gen) because its almost impossible to get new i5 4gem

Some PC components online stores provide shipping to where you are. Try one o those instead of the overpriced fractal-shop.com

the thing is I don't have a credit card, and buying from sellers that have a credit card is pretty much the same price as fractal-shop.com

I don't know about there, but here you can purchase a Visa card for example that is a gift card. So you essentially purchase it at the store and pay a small fee, and deposit money onto it. That might allow you to order from another merchant.
