Worth upgrading my ssd?

[Mac182]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice. I bought my PC from OCers a few years ago....

EX58-U3DR
Intel i7 920 @ 3.4 GHz
ATi 5870
6gb DDR

At the time i also purchased a Samsung SSD MMCRE64. I am thinking about upgrading my SSD and the capacity means I can't get win7 + WoW on it. It also feels like it is not as snappy as it used to be, although I have no numbers to confirm this.

Thinking about getting 2x and using Raid0 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-024-CS&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=

So my questions are:
1. will a Raid config be difficult to setup on this rig (never done it before)?
2. can my motherboard etc maximise the speed or am I better off getting something slower and cheaper?
3. Or are there better SSDs on the market around this price point?
4. Am I better off just leaving it a year or 2 and getting a new PC as mine is so dated etc?

Thanks for any advice!

i will say option 4, the speed impact on numbers maybe high on a raid, but in real life, a single MMCRE64 should be fast enough

dated pc in respect to what? For WoW? Besides the ssd has nothing to do with games' performance (besides loading).

Get a single crucial m4 128gb now and when you will decide to change pc you can keep the ssd

Laughing at the dated PC comment. It's an i7 for gods sake

Yeah if it's an old SSD, chances are it's not what it used to be.

Grab a 128GB M4, clean windows installation should help too.

Then your next upgrade will be your GPU, but if you mainly play WOW then perhaps not yet.

Everything else is fine for a good while yet.
