Raid 0 With 2 Seagate 7200RPM 1TB SSHD's? Or get a small SSD to increase cache for 1 SSHD?

[Poseidon5001]

Hi, I have a 100 CAD budget, and I wanted to improve the performance of my computer, for gaming.

I was wondering if I should get another 7200RPM 1TB SSHD and Raid 0 it with my current one, or if I should use intel smart cache and cache a full fledged ssd to add on to the performance, if that is possible, as my current SSHD has 60GB allocated to running windows 10 technical preview.

Also, bear in mind I have a 650 modular 80+ Gold PSU running:
i7 4790k@4.7Ghz
16GB DDR3 2133mhz cas 9 Ram
1Tb sshd
Gtx 770@slight overclock
Gigabyte z97 gaming 5 mobo
And my case is the haf x from cooler master (ik... i dont know why i got this case either)
Windows 8.1 Pro
Noctua NH-D14

So it has to be able to run all this without failing

Given all this info, which of the two options do you think will most increase performance in terms of boot times and gaming? Also, I host a Gmod and multiple minecraft servers.


Thanks guys!

If going to get an ssd why not just put windows and games on it?

You are hacking together A and B together to get 50% better performance then A, when B by itself is 400% better.

Just get a regular SSD. No 2nd SSHD, no RAID, no SSD cache.
