I am interested in overclocking, 2 SATA hd and RAID. 6. I’m keeping my existing CRT monitor and mouse. 7. I would like 2 optical devices: CD writer/DVD Rom Combo and DVD writer. 8.

That's not a high quality motherboard. Look at the ASUS A8N-E.
You don't need a USB or SATA card. The motherboard already has you covered there. For $10 more, you might as well get a DVD-RW...

Just 2 things about the build
1. Get the Creative Labs X-FI XtremeMusic Not Audigy 2 ZS http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...tive/index.asp(read it, it proves my point.) 2. AMD Dual Core Processors do not do anything for gaming, their more for digital video editing and multitasking and stuff like that. Other than that it's a great computer!
