Hey there 5LUG5L0 - sorry we didn't get back to you sooner...welcome to PCHF!

Could you post the EXACT model number of your Gigabyte motherboard. It will help us determine what processor is best for you The model number is usually written on the motherboard itself somewhere.

right above the ram slots it had a gigabyte symbol and "GA-7VT600 1394"
is that what you're looking for?

Exactly what I needed my friend - here is a list of all of the supported processors for your board. Go for the best you can afford and don't forget to add more RAM at the same time

That is the best choice i think for you to choose.
You could go one step higher with this proc but it is an 50% increase in price for maybe 5% performance increase:
