    You can only replace the whole i3 mainboard with either the whole i5 or whole i7 mainboard, The CPUs are soldered to the mainboard and not replaceable so you must buy the entire mainboard.  You can search for mainboards  by part nos listed below for vendors who ship to your location. But entire mainboards are usually very expensive.
