Going from 'SATA2' to 'SATA3' makes nearly 0 difference for a mechanical drive. They can't even saturate bandwith on SATA2, so doubling it won't do any good. It's for SSD.
Right, I have to ask: at this point in time, and while considering technology will move forward quite a bit in the time it takes to build this system, is it really wise to buy into such an old CPU?
AMD's Bulldozer architecture will be available Q3 this year, a few months from now. You're buying into tech that's about to be phased out. Phenom was the Core2-killer: Core2 has come and gone, replaced by i5 and i7, which in turn are on the brink of a new generation.
I have Core2 myself, but I bought it 3 years ago. Not a chance I would pick up a Core2 CPU nowadays.
