Yes you can. You would not be able to overclock though. Why would you want to do this?

because when im playing some game with high texture i got laggy sometimes, for example assassin creed unity, after i saw ther system requirements i notice that recomended cpu are i7-3,5 ghz. so i decided to upgrade my cpu. what do you think about i'm upgrading the cpu? or do i need to upgrade my gpu to 980 compared to upgrading my cpu?

I think an i7 would only be a small improvement. The i5 4590 is pretty strong.

hmmmm.. then how about upgrading the gpu?

What monitor are you using? What are your expectations?
