I wanna thank everyone for their advise, but I eventually settled for an X58 system since I got a good deal for it.  I would have preferred an X79-based system, but I wasn't sure Fernando's INF hack would make the AHCI controller work properly without issue.

My ASRock B75 Pro3 got some problems with RAM slot and finally replaced with another second hand board with same model number.

BTW my XP DVR rig has been replaced from AMD 260u + 880G with AMD Athlon 5350 (Kabini), less hot and less fan noise.
