A few questions about a computer build

Here are the specs.

ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe i865PE w/ATX 400 power supply
Rosewill R114A
Pentium 4 3.0E HT
GeForce 6800GT
2 Maxtor 160g SATA drives
1 gig DDR PC-3200

Do I need to hook up my power supply to both the motherboard ATX power connector and the ATX12V1 connector?

My case has two USB ports on the front, and a PCI card with two additional USB ports, can I hook up all 4 to the motherboard?

My case also has audio ports on the front of the case and I am confused on where to hook them up.

My last question, would you recommend that I use the onboard RAID0 with the 2 SATA drives or use them indepentantly with the OS installed on one and the 2nd used for storage/data?
