Hello,

To upgrade to an i3 you will need a new motherboard and DDR4 RAM.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($58.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI - B250M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($76.89 @ OutletPC)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($59.92 @ Amazon)
Total: $195.69
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I actually suggest the Pentium G4560 because it has hyper-threading just like the i3 and costs almost half as much.
