Posted another thread asking for SSD recommendations, and as a result I've order the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB. But only just thought about it, that my motherboard is a bit outdated (EX58-UD5 Rev 1.0) and that it looks like the SSD is not SATA II compatible? Am I gonna have to buy a new motherboard? Any cheap recommendations? Currently got an i7 920.

It will work fine, don't worry about it
The performance may be slightly reduced as a result of using SATA II however, but not enough to warrant changing the motherboard in my personal opinion.
This would be a cheaper option than replacing the mobo.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Startech 2-Port SATA III 6Gbps PCI-Express Controller Card (PEXSAT32) £23.99
Total : £27.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).

Slight reduction in performance (if I'll even notice) is fine for me temporarily, as long as it is backwards compatible then I'm happy.
I wouldn't bother buying an add in card either,they are poor in comparison to proper intel controlled sata3
just stick it out till you upgrade your board/cpu,you could have saved yourself a few ££ by going for the non pro 250gb but nevermind
