The harddrive just came in, and the motherboard is coming in a few days. I just want to make sure i dont need a serial card or something crazy in order to get the thing running.

Serial ATA = SATA, the new favourite flavour of hard drive connector. That motherboard has 6 ports so yes they are compatible and you shouldn't have any trouble with it.

Yes

No problem, just make sure you've done some reading and research into all of your components.
