Oh, looks like a very nice system!
Ok, forget about the PCI stuff. HDDs are today SATA (serial ATA) and they are much much faster than what you are used to. In addition, hard disks and Win7-64 use NCQ (native command queing) that is accept multiple data fetch commands and sort them out in the best possible way (unlike your 10years old HDD).
You 32Gb RAM make me feel jealous
With this amount of RAM I would recommend you to buy a big (2Tb-2,5Tb) Hard Disk SATA with 7200rpm
First Partition should be small 100-150Gb for Win7-64. As little as possible there in order to ensure the system runs well and there is a little fragmantation as possible.
Last Partition should be 50-80Gb for the TEMP directory and for the swapfiles (swapfile you will never need anyway).
In between you have space for all your data, games etc.
I use RAMDRIVE, it is magnificent and it will always be faster than a SSD.
As I said once:
With so much RAM (I am getting jealous...) you do not need to spend money on a SSD drive [unless if you want to use a SSD for your Win7 OS].
RAMDRIVE is a fantastic tool and in combination with the Link Shell Extension it is an excellent way to speed up loading times and avoid any delays due to HDD slow access (if no SSD).
What is the fastest way:
An SSD for Win7 + an SSD for your apps
But because SSDs are still small (capacity-wise) you are always better off with:
An SSD for Win7 + a 2Tb HDD for your apps + RAMDRIVE images
