    ASRock Z77 Extreme4 or MSI Z77A-G43?

    The Asrock has little better voltage controls than the MSI and can reuse your old 775 HSF. Also has ESATA port. Unless the Asrock different features appeal to you, I'd get the MSI for a budget build from your choices available.

    Asrock z77 Extreme4-m + 3570k

    Looking to upgrade videocard for s775 system

    I'd get an 6870 or 560GTX both around 150-160 after MIR or you could get a 6850 for 130 after MIR and OC if needed. Spending alot more probably doesn't do you much good good given your CPU.

    bad for a 2.5in Hard drive to run and run?

    You can certainly leave it connected while you are using the computer but I wouldn't leave the 2.5 drive running 24/7. You don't have a fan in a drive that small and I'd be concerned about higher temps decreasing the life of the HD.

    Big Dips on HD Tach/Tune graphs - what do they mean?

    I don't believe you can retrieve SMART data on a RAID configuration since you would be talking to the controller and not the individual drives.

    Big Dips on HD Tach/Tune graphs - what do they mean?

    found a cool prog HDDScan for HD info http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2006.01.22-HDDScan/ it can read SMART info and map sectors that have high access times. See if the consistent dips in your HD-Tach graph correspond with areas with weak sectors. There are also progs to turn weak...
