Well, I have had some BAD experience with MSI. Try this board,

And if CHEAP is what you want, get this memory,

cheaper, same performance.
This is a case from a quality brand, Coolermaster. Its $50, including a 350watt PSU that is from a name brand at least.

Since your not overclocking, for your price range, look at AMD, I've got an AMD Athlon 5200+ dual core, and it runs very cool, price is good as well.
