I mean either - PGS subtitles burning in (quality is as good as the original, just you can never remove them) - Convert PGS subtitles to a low quality format, then mux it, or - External subtitles

Officially HD 5770 does not support MVC decoding. Actually CPU usage when playing back BR 3D with HD 5770 is as low as HD 6xxx/7xxx. CPU usage with HD 55xx/55xx/56xx is a lot higher.

Nothing, except for subtitles. DVDFab does not support PGS (Blu-ray) subtitles. Ripping with MakeMKV + encoding with HandBrake 0.9.9 will keep PGS subtitles.

Celeron G1610 with integated GPU (~$45) is enough. B75 (no onboard RAID), H77 or Z77 chipset mb. Many ASRock B75/H77/Z77 mb has 8 SATA ports (Intel + ASM1061 chip). Add a discrete graphics such as Radeon HD 7790 if you want the best...

Playing back BR 3D involves: 1. Decoding MVC (Multiview Video Coding) 2. Outputting Frame packing 3D video format (one of the primary HDMI 1.4a 3D video formats) over HDMI. 1. The hardware decoder of every SNB / IVB iGPU can decode...

A short summary of quality & preset vs file size.

No problem to decode HSBS (it's just normal 1080p AVC) or even MVC (though it can't output frame packing). BTW you shouldn't expect 36% effectiveness (the same power consumption at idle and moderate load such as video playback, Core...

Have you tried MCDU? I am not sure of the current status even for clear contents. I remember I wrote lots about this topic in the past, e.g. this post.

WMC uses DirectShow for (encrypted or unencrypted) TV.
