Thanks for the Price savings at Newegg.com totally forgot about that site.
But what I'm Mainly concerned about is, will this setup work? or will there
be potential problems with this setup.

I'm getting ready to build my second home PC and its been at least 4
years since I built this one, I'm a little behind on what will work and
not. I have a list of items I put together from Tigerdirect.com and would
like to get some feedback on the piece's I gotten down. What I'm building
is (I hope) a gaming,Internet,and a PC for my wife to do her college home
work on, that is Fast, reliable, and good enough to play the newest games
out. Please look at the list and let me know what you think. I've used
SATA drives before and I'm not sure If RAID 0,1 is something I should
consider.

An AMD 64x2 4800 is $630 at Newegg. The Asus A8N-E motherboard is $104.
Only ~ $200 less.

Personally, I'd go with an Antec SLK3700BQE. It's a little more, but I've
built 3 systems with it. Love the hdd trays with the rubber grommets.
Air flow works well. And, it's less than $100 at Newegg.
