I would actually get a 256 GB SSD instead of 1 120GB SSDs.

I agree the 256 will be slightly quicker unless your going to run them in raid.

Anyways, running RAID 0 isn't really good, as the risks outweigh the benefits.

A single 240gb ssd will be faster and have longer endurance.

I also wouldn't get two more 1 TB HDDs as a 2 TB HDD is cheaper than two 1 TB HDDs:

On a SSD for sure their already freaky fast and unless your just running benches you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

All RAID 0 for SSDs would do is:
1, Boost boot times by like 2 seconds
2, Boost loading times by not even a second.
Not worth it for the extra cost.
