Having trouble pulling the trigger...

Ok, here's the situation...

I have:
enlight 7237 300w.
20GB maxtor 5400 HDD.
HP 9350 CDRW.
Floppy, 17" monitor, keyboard, etc from current machine.

I've been putting off getting the main parts of the system because it's too hard to decide what to get. I ordered a retail duron 750 today ($67 shipped from cnetpc), so that's out of the way. Mobo will be either an MSI K7T Turbo with raid or an Epox 8kta3 for 117 or 114 from newegg.
I'm looking for stability, performance, and future upgrade ability on a budget. Good, fast, cheap, can I pick all three?? I probably won't overclock at first, but will down the road.

Then the video. Msi Geforce2 mx or the Radeon LE? I want the best performance for the buck, without having to screw around with it too much. Seems a lot of people like the Radeon LE, and most of the budget system guides recommend the Gf2 MX. Arrrgh... what to do... Also, is there any advantage to getting the mobo and video card from the same mfr (MSI)?

I'll also order Crucial 256M 133 cas2 memory and MS 98se. I'm ordering in the next day or so, so any last minute advice would be great. Please help me out on the mobo and video...

One more question...
I bought a 20GB 5400 rpm Maxtor HDD last month because it sounded like it would still be fast and it was $29 after rebate. Anyways, on the box it says you can get an ATA/100 card free after a $50 rebate in combination with the drive (don't have to buy them from the same store). Now inside the box, it says nothing about ata100 at all on any of the literature. Would I need the card to get ata100, or would either of the mobos above handle this for me? I'm asking now because today is the last day for me to buy the card and get the rebate...
