I don't think they have Z86 for socket 775. They do for socket 1155.

I have an ASUS P8-P67 and Core i7 and I've never ever experienced a
motherboard failure with ASUS. I have with other bands like Gigabyte.

You might just want to build yourself a new computer using  modern
components (DDR3, AMD Bulldozer CPU, modern motherboard). It shouldn't be
too expensive actually, since I don't think you're going to be sticking a
$500 video card in there.
