SSD RAID or not for gaming machine?!

So i've had my i5 based machine for a couple of months and the only bit that is niggling at me is the HDD i'm using. Currently i've got a 300GB Raptor in it which is performing well but its no SSD :D

I'm being woo'd by the SSD RAID packs and have been hoving over the buy button for some time, but the one thing that worries me is the usual size problem with SSD's. Games are getting larger and larger and I know i'd quite quickly fill up 2x60GB SSDs with just my standard played games let alone the odd single player one, i'm also unsure if the speed gains from an SSD RAID is really worth it over a single SSD?

I'm currently thinking of the following;

1. 2x60GB SSD + Raptor (OS & Main games on SSDs)
2. 2x120GB SSD
3. 120GB SSD + Raptor

I really, really want to go for 2x120GBs but just can't bring myself to pay nearly £300 for them.
