IMO if you dont want to do a $400 upgrade (ram, cpu, mobo), then your best bet is to keep your current setup and just spend $40 on a better cpu fan and/or case fan. that artic freezer looks more than sufficient
as for the sata, just get a pcie adapter card (https://www.amazon.ca/Express-Adapter-Converter-ASMEDIA-ASM1061/dp/B008BZAVVE/ref=pd_cp_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TC2VD20QZZYCTE2Z5NDJ
Well, the motherboard not supporting SSDs isn't stopping you from using an SSD. If you want AHCI support (TRIM and all that SSD-related stuff) but your current mobo doesn't have it consider buying a PCIE x1 controller card like this one. People are saying good things about it around the internet and it's just 10 or so dollars so even if you're only going to use it temporarily it won't set you back a significant amount. USB 3.0 you can probably live without. 212 evo is legendary but now better alternatives exist, namely Cryorig H7 and SilentiumPC Fortis 3. They cost about the same though I'm not sure about Fortis 3 availability in the USA (if that's where you live). If you can cancel the 212 order to get Fortis 3 instead do it, otherwise don't bother. It won't make a huge difference. You have a 95W xeon, not a 220W FX. X5670 has good OC potential btw, according to HWbot, but be careful with voltages if your motherboard's VRM isn't very strong.
