Hi. I thirst for an upgrade, so if you have a CPU+Motherboard set of something better than a Pentium 4, let me know. It needs to be ATX and needs to have 2 IDE controllers, and at least one PCI-ex slots. If you have just a mobo or cpu, let me know too. I'm not paying anything over $80 bucks for the two, so I'm obviously not looking for any core i7. I'm just looking for something better than my current setup. For the PSU, I just need something of moderate quality to power my new rig. I'd say 450w+, 500w would be best.

Well, I have a few things that are a lot better than you are asking for for only slightly more price.

First off, I don't think you are going to find a motherboard with two IDE ports anymore. You need to upgrade to some Sata components!

I have a Biostar 760g mATX motherboard, this model here-

A 2x1gb kit of ddr2 ram, Kingston 533mhz

An Athlon II 605e QUAD core

You can have all that for $110 shipped. So note that I'm also including ddr2 ram there because you only have ddr ram now so you would need to upgrade anyway. This board overclocks fairly well even with it's simply options you should be able to achieve a 3ghz overclock on that quad.

And also, I have a 650w psu that I could include for $30 more. It's been a reliable unit for a year now, I am the original owner and it's powered an I7 860 with a gtx285 before so it will be plenty of juice for whatever you need.
