Just a little back story, these are my current computer specs
CPU: Intel Core i7-920
Mobo: Asus Rampage III Gene
RAM: G.Skill 12 Gig DDR3
GPU: GTX 460 in dual SLI
PSU: 800 Watt Cooler Master 80+ Gold
Here is my dilemma, my storage
Primary Storage (Windows): Raid 0 2x Kingston 128 gig SSD SNV425-S2
Secondary Storage: Raid 0 2x WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM 300gb HDD
Now for my current situation,
Is my current storage set up being bottle-necked by my HDD?
Would buying three Intel 520 60GB SSDs (15,000 Read IOPS each) and running them in Raid 0 for a total of 45,000 IOPS be faster or slower than buying one Intel 520 180GB SSD (50,000 IOPS)?
Would purchasing two Intel 520 180 GB SSD in Raid 0 (total 100,000 IOPS) be bottle-necked by my controller?
(not really a storage question but a question nonetheless) Am I providing my PC with too little wattage?
Additional Info:
I'm using a Cooler Master HAF X and its great but I'm a bit bored of the "box" shape so I'm purchasing a barebones Alienware Area 51 ALX and migrating my components there. I'm going to be using the Alienware mobo because its required for AlienFX.
Thanks for your help!
