Does the iPod still come with an AC adapter?
I'm not good at installing cards, or even opening my PC for that matter.
I'm not sure if I could have a USB 2.0 card installed soon.
I would need an AC adapter to charge the iPod.

You can charge through USB 1.1. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports emits 500mA of power, enough to charge the iPod. I think Apple got rid of the charging via firewire.

Just so I'm clear, are there any extras one needs to buy that are essential?
I'm guessing no though?
So what extras would help make life eazy-e?

I was going to ask the same thing, what extras would an iPod newbie need to buy to get started on the right track.
Best case, headphones, charging mechanism, etc.

Yeah well, at least there isn't nothing essential you need to pay extra for - by that I mean what Apple require

Peronally, I'd sacrifice the stealth looks for a pause button and volume controls, but that's me.

Well I don't need the car accessories as I don't drive, or full size cans, so how much would the rest cost me?

Rough estimates
1. The Universal Dock $40
2. A Sendstation Pocketdock $30
3. Portable headphone amp -- Headroom Total Airhead, Meier Audio Porta Corda, etc. - $200
4. Good IEM's -- Shure, Etymotic, etc. $200
5. Nice case (I also love my Vaja) $100
6. The plug-in charger $50
