Want to use Raid but how?

[Mattitude]

In my new system i want to use Raid 0 as i use my computer for mainly gaming. I also have a home server so that will be used for backups.

I just want to know as a person who has never setup a pc to use Raid 0 is it easy or will i need some help?

also what are the requirements? i know ill need two hard disks which i have do i need any additional components like a controller card?

Had a look into storage management on my motherboard, i dont actually have it yet but i went to the website and got the manual and i was happy to see all the features it had for me, its nvidia branded and the overclocking features are emense!

Well after i saw storage management and (Raid) i flicked to that page, turns out it has wizards allowing me to select what type of raid and can even build and array if i wanted which is cool.

my hard drive setup will be:

Western Digital hard drives

250GB x 2 + 500GB

(C) System
(D) Applications
(E) Storage
(D) Backup

what memory should i have for each and what raid config should i use?
