^Would you mind sticking to a single thread instead of creating multiple ones each time you desire to buy a new board? Or do you invest in a new Core i7 based PC every 3~4 months?
Apologies if I sound a bit rude but please stick to a single thread and avoid redundancies!
As for your query, it would be worthwhile to invest in a board which features USB 3.0 + SATA 3.0 unless you decide to switch to such a board later. Most enthusiast segment boards do feature USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 ports. For instance, Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev. 2.0. Costs about 13.5k.
