set the bios? you dont' really need to touch the bios unless you want to tweak settings (like time, or boot sequence, or overclocking). i wouldn't worry to much, but do know how to get into the bios (usually by pressing F2 or Del upon POST).
I have found that adding another harddrive slows down your comp (at least it does in my Compaq). 200GB should be plenty unless you hoard data.
What do you planning on doing with your system? One suggestion for your system to future-proof is to upgrade your vid card if you can afford it. I'd say a 9600 pro or 9600 xt would be decent. Go for a 9800 pro if you can afford it. Besides that, it seems like a well rounded system.
Be patient when you build your system and be gentle with the parts. Keep grounded. And the manuals will help (esp when you plug in your case leds and power/reset buttons). Good luck =)
