Best Shopping Cart and Forum Script Combo

    I am trying to decide on a cart/forum combo for a new site I am building. I have spent hours trying to decide but I think so second opinions are in order before i press forward. The forum needs to have options like SMF. phpbb is a bit challenging for someone that has no experience in forum scripts, and since I am not maintaining the forum I don't think it would be fair to hand over phpbb3 to a novice. I am trying to stay open source if possible. The biggest feature I need for a cart is the ability to manually load shop credit. I have people mail money orders and checks in advance and I want them to be able to shop on prepaid credit. I only have seen that with Magento, but it's a $150.00 plugin and I haven't seen a forum software that blens with Magento yet. Magento is also resource heavy and extremely robust so I am trying to find something a bit leaner. Prestashop has no forum that gives SSO so I am a bit turned off from that. Anyone have ideas, perhaps an example? Thanks
