as far as the SATA prob is concerned your mobo supports sata 2 as per the weblink http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=spec_SeagateTonkaII_Serial&ppn=PB34305801
Put just the ram back into the motherboard, the pc will not boot without processor, ram and graphics pluged into the board, check this, if it will still not boot and you still get 3 beeps its a memory(ram) problem, and you will need to replace the memory stick.
