Hi im about to upgrade my PC with a Samsung 840 120gb SSD and i cant decide if i should use it to have the OS on the SSD and use the HDD for storage. OR use the SSD as a dedicated cache for the HDD using Intel's Smart Response Technology. Does anyone know what the best choice would be, and also i already installed the OS on the HDD without setting it to RAID to use the SSD as a cache. Is there a way i can still change it to RAID? Here is my Specs:

SSD: Samsung 840 120GB
HDD: 1TB
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k
GPU: MSI GTX 770
RAM: 8gb gskill ripjaws
