Well the Gigabyte board will definitely be a relief for you as I have bought four different ones for family and friends builds. Not one problem yet. I have had very good luck with AS Rock brand too.
Yeah, I would definitely check other components like the power supply out. I had a power supply that fried a couple of boards before I finally bought a power supply tester (only like $10-$20) and found the culprit.

I would agree that the main difference would be the connecter quality. Maximum PC did a test with different cables and lengths and found absolutely no difference between "certified SATA3 cables" and generic SATA cables. Check out the article: http://bit.ly/18fJyjh

Great thread! I'm going start sending some noobs (I was once one myself) this way. Some of the info needs a bit of an update but is still relevant to the concepts.
The G1610 is a sweet little processor. I have done two builds with it so far and have been blown away with what this little guy can do. Save your money and buy the Celeron!
