Here is my advice.
If you want to upgrade your CPU then first check the CPU support list of your motherboard given on their respective site,
and then decide which CPU to buy.

IT is given on Gigabyte's official site that this motherboard that you've mentioned supports both AM3 and AM3+ CPUs. :)

Either your board is Asus or you got the name wrong for Gigabyte!
Pretty much is like this with AM3 boards if the socket color is white it does not support AM3+ CPU's if it is Black it does.
