I am currently building a new computer to run Ubuntu. I know I can tar ball my files from /home. I am confused on how I would get my settings and applications off my old box to my new computer. Could someone point me in the right direction, thanks?

Have a look at remastersys, you can make a "distribution" with all your programs on it. (On a DVD, assuming you've installed a few things. Or with Unetbootin, you can probably do it on a 2 GB flash drive.)
After that, your biggest hassle might be e-mail. Evolution can export from there, and import here.
