EDIT: I'd also consider a 7 series chipset for the motherboard, Intel just released an update that passes through TRIM commands for SSDs for RAID arrays, so you can RAID 0 two SSDs for almost double the performance! If I was building I'd definitely consider getting 2 128GB or 256GB instead of 1 265GB or 1 512GB.

1,100MB/s!
I thought you never ever raid or defrag SSD's because their lifetime is based on the number of read writes to each sector... raiding them or lots of defragging reduces that life expectancy drastically.

*edit* ok I guess this TRIM thing is specifically to address that issue. 1,100MB/s ... lol wow.

*edit* ok... wow, the more i read the more i think I need to do this. 2x ~250GB SSD's in a raid 0... wow
