Need a little help

THis is my first time on this forum and my first time building a pc from scratch.
I just bought an Asus P5Q-E motherboard. I'll be using an Intel E4600 cpu, a Sata hard drive and a Sata optical drive.
This board comes with many sata connectors.
I have no desire to use RAID.
I'll be using an external hard drive for backups hoojed by either USB or eSATA.
I don't know which of the SATA connectors I should use for the hard drive and the optical drive.
Also, do I enable AHCI?
Hope some one can help.
Thanks.
Hugger
