No PATA sockets, from the Newegg specs, and I hadn't noticed that the DVD-RW drive was doubled. However, he's got two 2GB Ram sticks so he's got the 4 GB RAM. (And that's all that will fit on the Mobo he's picked)
Try Fry's number 6050558 instead, a SATA DVD-RW, same company and is 24x instead of 22x for the same price.
OR
Same specifications 24x, SATA internal drive, $21.99
You've got 4 SATA sockets that come with your Motherboard, so you should be able to fit your goodies.
Did you pick a micro ATX motherboard for a reason other than price point? 'Cause I think that can prevent you from keeping the same motherboard through a couple upgrades.
