No, you can't make adapters to fit different generations of silicon. Back in the LGA 775 days there were LGA 771 to 775 and Socket P-775 adapters but all those were the same generation of chips and very similar. You either have to buy a new system or expansion cards with USB 3.1, SATA III and so on.

Are you asking if there's a socket adapter for your CPU ? In that case no.
Are you asking for another chipset ? The answer is also no, X 58 is the only chipset for the 1366 socket.
SSD standards ? SSD's run either on sata or PCIE both of wich are available on your chipset. High end SSD's will get bottlenecked but it's unlikely you'll feel the 0.3 second delay.
Are you sure that your chipset doesn't cut it any more ? What are you using the PC for, what other hardware do you have installed ?

I use it for photo shop and video editing .I have a 500gb Samsung evo for my os drive Win 10 and a 1.5 sata2 drive and ATI Radeon HD5870 1gb.Just looking to make some simple ,moderate cost upgrades to keep it functioning as speedily and reliably as it has been since 2010.Any suggestions. Thanks for your reply,John

Thanks for your reply .just doing some fact finding and thought I would check in with the people who know, John

If you just edit videos and photos then you should be ok with a mid-range GPU (950 GTX, R9 370)
But if you also render videos then you need to go top of the line high end in your new build.
