This one should work just fine:

I once had a mATX board with a sempron 140, 2x2GB RAM, HDTV tuner, ODD, and 2 HDDs all powered off a 102w picoPSU. So I'd say that what you listed would be fine on a 150w PSU. That said, I would go with something like this setup ...

ZOTAC GF9300-I-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9300 HDMI Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

and

Intel Celeron E3400 Wolfdale 2.6GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor

This setup would easily run on a 150w PSU and it will blow away the sempron or any atom/zacate system.
