I had the same e7200 until few weeks ago looking for possibles upgrades.
If you want only to change the cpu only... the best bang for the buck would not be a Q6600 but a X5450 or E5450.
I'm not sure about gigabytes but I know that Asus motherboard can accept those cpu with some small mods...
I didn't check the price on ebay but yeah I got about 40% on those sticks.
Better to get your ebay coupons on something else such as a keyboard, mice or something cheap to ship.

DaZeeMan speaks truth.
Get G.Skill TridentX DDR3-2400. I got those from NewEgg during blackfriday for dirt cheap.
