Never buy by brand, always look at the model. What is your budget and platform of choice?

Almost a 100$ I got a i5 8500.

I searched for mobos in local stores because they are cheaper than shipping anything from outside. I have two options either gigabyte b365m ds3h mobo or the msi b365m pro vdh mobo

If you want maybe sell the 8500 and get a b450 pro 4 and a 3300x 

That will be better and you will move to a better platform instead of this dead one

You see I'd like to sell the 8500 but the problem is that not alot of used items nor tech/pc hardware  buyers in my country. And am in rush so which mobo do you recommend?

At this point, sell the 8500 and get a Ryzen 5 3600.

I mean if you can try, you can sell it 

If you can't a decent b365 board that comes to mind is the b365 bazooka

Neither, both are relatively shit. The 8500 is also not aging well already so I would strongly suggest selling it and looking at a 12-thread CPU

I can't find that mobo here unfortunately.

Selling it is a good idea I agree but I'm In a rush and selling it is not that easy in my home country

Well the boards in question are shit so buying them in rush will only make a bad investment worse - either look for a decent board or sell the CPU. Rushing will result in you having a poor experience and other problems

Why are they shit tho?

I dont know what you have in your country, but bejng 8th gen means all B360 H370 and B365 boards support this CPU. Just get one with more elaborate VRM heatsink, say the B360A-Pro or B360M Mortar from MSI. You may throw in needs for other features like USB count and stuff

Motherboards of these aren't that available. Those are the only common ones (b360, b365m)is the Asus prime B360M a good mobo?

If there's no VRM heatsink at all, dont buy them. Even a heatsink that looks bad (i.e. small surface area) is still better than running bare mosfets (i.e. naked)

Why a VRM heatsink is important if I'm not going to overclock?

because cheap boards use inefficient mosfets.

What that can cause? Apparently all the MOBOs that are "cheap" that range from 100 usd to 130 in my country do not have any heatsinks for these mosfets, However I checked reviews for these mobos and most of them said they are OK! I am in so much confusion.

There are also H310 H370 Z370 and Z390 if these are even cheaper

 

It's "OK" if CPUs run according to TDP spec (and limited turbo boost duration). This however, means the CPU will not run at its all core turbo in heavier workloads because it hits the power limit. It's not OK if you plan on getting the most out of it by raising the power limit enough so that it maintains all core turbo at all times.
