1st I think the best method would be to attach all 4 hard drives at the same time and use the BIOS to create the RAID array. Then install Windows to the SSD. But I don't think it really matters much either way. As far as the cache, why were you planning on doing that? Are you thinking the 120...

WD, if you ask me. Cheaper, reliable, and you already are working w/ a ssd so I doubt performance is as important as reliability.

My suggestions... New CPU cooler (not too expensive) Radeon 6850, great card, not too much heat. Ohhh, was that said already? Oops! :sol: J/k guys J/k :D
