I just built a rig with a Gigabyte mobo.  Mine has setting like yours.  
I asked on here and was told that AHCI is the "new way" to do things.  
So, I set mine to that and it has worked fine.

The only issue I did have is not being able to boot from a CD/DVD with 
it set to AHCI.  No idea why that matters.  My DVD drive is SATA too.  I 
need to play with that more later on.  See if it was that or something 
else that I missed.  Thought I would mention that just in case you try 
to boot a CD or something and get a nasty error message or something.  
May want to file that in the back of your brain for future reference.
