I'm building my first gaming PC, I have a question about SSD. Which would I install my OS and other drivers is it in the SSD or in a hard drive? Or use only SSD with running PC games?

Which would be my primary storage?

Install your OS and other applications on the SSD. Use the HDD for data storage like music, pictures or PC games. You might want to move Windows pagefile and temp folders to the HDD as well. If you don't know how to do that, search for a SSD Optimization guide.

Not sure if RAID would benefit you. Check the forum stickies or search the internet for guides if you're set on it. If it is beyond your scope, just run the disks as JBOD and use the secondary SSD as your game drive.

When you install windows, only have your SSD plugged in during install. Easy way of doing this is removing power cable from your HDD and plug it in after Windows installs
