You would be better off with a better GPU than bothering with Raid.

Also, the current generation hard drives, a lot of the higher capacity drives are MUCH better deals and actually tend to be substantially faster. Something like a Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB-1TB or a Seagate 7200.12(?) or whichever is the latest reiteration that is around the same capacity. You will spend $20-$40 more and get a lot more storage space.

Also, get a better PSU, raidmax makes crap products. You also may as well find a different case that doesn't come with a PSU either. Should save you a few bucks.
