New Motherboard Help

Hey guys.

I need help picking out a cheap mobo/cpu combo.

I am fixing a computer for a friend and the mobo is dead so i am just going to buy a new mobo/cpu, ram, gpu, and hard drive.

I am planning on using the old case and cd & dvd drivers, and i already have a psu.

One question that i have is, if i get the converter cables am i going to be able to plug up the cd and dvd drivers to the motherboard without a problem.
