So I was just checking out prices for parts and I noticed dual core 3600s are going for as low as 65 dollars and I can get 1 gig of of ram for less than 60 dollars, so now I'm tempted to buy this stuff, but I'm kind of stuck on what motherboard to get.
What I need is a board that's relatively cheap ($70 tops would be good if possible) but also stable and reliable. I also need it to have TWO ide connectors as I'm still running a IDE hard drive and I'd like to wait to upgrade my storage just a little longer.
These two are my top choices so far:

Also, a quick power supply question. Would this 400 Watt Fortron PSU be able to handle this setup as well as a Geforce 7600 GT?

From everything I've read around here, they seem to have the best price/reliability ratio. I used one of those PSU calculators and it said I'd only need about 300 Watts with the setup I have, but I don't know how accurate those are.
