Hey guys so i recently upgrading my PC well built a new one but kept my old Power supply, HDD, and DVD drive. My specs. And Microsoft Windows rating for m hardware. I feel like my system is being bottlenecked by my HDD and im thinking to buy 2 120GB SSD and Raid 0 For both of them. 240 GB is all i need and i can put videos/music/movies on my extternal which is 1 tb. What do you guys think of getting the new SSD's? And you guys know anywhere where i could get them for a good price and good brand? links please :)

CPU: Intel i7 2600k (New) 7.7
RAM: Ripjaws 8gb (new) 7.8
PSU: StealthXstream 2 700W (New)
MotherBoard: gigabyte x68xp ud4 (New)
GPU: Gtx 570 (New) 7.8
Harddrive: seageate barracuda 7200 RPM 16 mg cache 500GB (Old) 5.9 :( Link

if you have the cash...go for it, it will be like night and day responsiveness. i didnt want to believe it but it really is that much...
 
Forget about the kingston, its slower then the other 3. Probably would go with the agility 3.
 
hey guys still undecided on which SSD to buy. Ive looked at some more SSD"s tell me what you think pleasse. SOo between these

Corsair force 3
ocz vertex
ocz agility
Intel 320

Which would your top two picK?
 
The intel 320 is only sata 2 and I assume your board has sata 3. So your best bet would be to stay with Sata 3 SSD's.

Looks like the vertex is a little faster than the agility. So I would choose either the corsair or the vertex.
 
Might want to reconsider the thought of raid 0 with two SSD drives. It will write constant. At least thats the way i understand it. Never did it but wait for others to reply. I have a Barcuda drive and SSD drive as primary. Getting ready to buy another. not for raid 0 though.
