There is no problem putting your 7200 hard drive in to a new machine. New mothereboards have both SATA and IDE connectors.

You could have both a brand new SATA drive. They are so cheap these days and run slightly faster, and then also have your 7200 IDE drive also in there on the IDE controller.

As for upgrading, I think there is never a good time to buy. You just have to bite the bullet.
The 939 is probably your best option as it will be ready for future upgrades. I would reccomend looking at the Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi which has PCI-E and is an all round good board at the moment.
