Nope. You'll need a new motherboard with that change. You need a motherboard with a LGA1155 socket.

But don't think you're gonna gain much of a performance jump going from a a8-5500 to a 2nd gen intel

Lets say i bought a motherboard which has LGA1155 socket , and buy aswell intel i5 , will i be able to like change my graphic card from this motherboard to the new one without any issues
same question goes for RAM and the hard-drivers

Yes you can change these no problem. RAM might be a bit tricky but it's highly unlikely, so you'll be fine either way.

Depends. What GPU do you have and what processor do you wanna get? Check to see if the system won’t bottleneck.
