Hello
My Specs are:
Intel Core i5 3470 3.20GHz
MSI B75MA-P45 Motherboard
8Gb Corsair Vengeance Ram
EVGA GTX 770 2Gb Superclocked acx version
OCZ OCZ-ZT650W Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD (Boot SSD)
SanDisk 64GB Pulse SSD
NZXT Source 210 USB 3.0 Mid Tower Chassis (With 3 Fans)(2 Exhaust 1 Intake)
Hp Pavilion 22xi (Ips) 1080p Monitor.
Dell TactX Alienware USB Gaming Keyboard

I want to run 2 ssd’s in raid 0. I don’t know if I can, im have 2 ssd’s.
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD (Boot SSD)
SanDisk 64GB Pulse SSD
I have my OS on Samsung SSD and Bafftefield 4 on the other one because it speeds up loading times by 90%.
Can I run these ssd’s in Raid 0 if I can how to do that? Also what are the advantages of it? Thanks.

Few advantages, many disadvantages.

With differing size drives, you are limited to 2 x the smallest. In this case, the 64GB. So your total size for a RAID 0 would be 128GB.
Except in certain limited circumstances, RAID with SSD's gains little in speed, and increases the fail potential.

There is no need to RAID them. Just have 2 discreet drives. You can install games on whichever drive you like. It won't run the game any faster if you RAID them.

Just use your 840 EVO. Don't bother setting-up RAID 0 with your Sandisk - it'll decrease its performance since they are different SSDs with different performance. If one of them fails - say good bye to your boot drive. You can use that Sandisk as a seperate disk though.
