Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I was going to use RAID 0 for installing steam and games, to make load times faster. 256gigs gets used up fast on a SSD. Any point in doing this? Is the difference that big in video games?
EDIT: Hell, went ahead and pulled the trigger. Heres the final build, if anyone is interested.

SSD link fixed.
I want to do RAID 0 because it should increase preformance, based on my knowledge. Isn't it basically making 2 HDD work at finding files that are installed between the two drives?
I want a 27" wide screen just for the viewing room. I don't plan on doing much show...

Guys, you know what really makes me mad?
Holiday season is coming up, which means the price on SSD drives is defiantly not going to go down.
I want one so bad :(
I'm convinced on SSD.
Now I have to wait till the price drops.
Jesus tap dancing christ are they expensive! 300$ for 80g.
Guess I'll play the waiting game
In between all this forum posts I'm doing research and reading reviews, and both the raptor and the ssd are looking worse compared to a RAID 0 with the 640.
Unless I raid 0 the 640 and use the SSD for the OS....
How does that sound?
Maybe the RAID 0 would be the best option at this point. Its cheaper than bother options and it seems to offer pretty good performance.
But godamn there are so many opinions floating around. Over at toms everyone is saying to go with the raptor....
Its enough to make my head explode
I've always wanted a fast HD to decrease boot time and overall make navigating the OS and gaming faster.
I've been looking at the SSD's that are out and they are expensive, but they seem to pack a punch for performance.
On the other side of the coin there are the WD raptors that are...
