I'm not a fan of MSI Mobo's but it is a better choice than the BioStar. Asus & Gigabyte are good quality.
RAM: I would go with the 2nd listing.
My first priority would be a replacing the Ultra PSU with a 650W good quality unit.
Most newer Mobo's still have one IDE connection (supports 2 IDE devices) so you could still use your IDE Optical Drive.
