Be careful when you ask to someone this kind of information. Misleading information may harm your hardware at your own risk, so always look for official support/manuals/guides first.
I've just look at Gigabyte official page and looked up for tha lastest BIOS version for your motherboard model, and the version is F9.
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4...
"(Note) Please use the efiflash.exe included in the zip file to update this BIOS.
Warning:
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction."

The utility called @BIOS and mentioned by @eatmypie do not support your motherboard chipset, so you cannot use it.
I've just found this guide: http://www.gigabyte.com/webpage/20/images/flashbios_dos...
There is a note at page 10; you may need to update the BIOS through DOS.

You need a pendrive (remember to backup everything inside it).
Use this guide ("Use Rufus"): http://www.howtogeek.com/136987/how-to-create-a-bootabl...
After format your USB with DOS, mount it and copy the files to update the BIOS to the pendrive. Unplug the pendrive, restart your computer, access the BIOS, plugin the pendrive and boot throught the pendrive. It should load the DOS.
Now, go back here to page 10: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2093279/update-g...
The display will be black and with a prompt, something like: A:/ or D:/
Use 'dir' to list all files inside the pendrive. If it contains the new BIOS version (maybe 'Z87XUD3H.F9'), then you type it name and press "Enter". Read it from the PDF: If the flash utility cannot be executed after system runs boot files, please try to
run the command: Flash utility BIOS file name under the DOS prompt A:/
For example: A:/FLASH864 7VRXP and press Enter.
Just read the guide!! http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2093279/update-g...

Q-Flash is the way to go and the safest way too. You need to unpack the bios file after downloading it. You should have 3 bios files from the unpack. Copy all three files to a USB drive with nothing else on the drive. Boot into bios with the USB installed into a USB 2.0 port and enter Q-Flash and update, just follow the instructions. The USB drive will show up as a HDD. If you don't know which file, don't worry. If you pick the wrong file, BIOS will let you know. Pick another file till you get the right file. Easy Peezy. And safe.

Yeah @bios is really nice, and I highly doubt that they would have something on the actual overview page of the motherboard that shows @BIOS and have it not be compatible. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4...
