If you put them in RAID 0 they will be faster.

Only for sequential read/writes. Everything else can take a hit from raid.

sequential r/w can theoretically double. running a raid can be a nuisance, and actually increase your boot time since the intel oprom will have to load up. not for the faint of heart.

When in doubt, re-format.

MINI VERSION

Hard to tell. The first one has slightly quieter case fans but the second has a quieter cpu cooler especially at load. 

They're both awkward builds though.. what's the system being used for?

Why 2 ssd's?

Raid 0 results in faster sequential transfer speeds but slows down other things like random read speeds and random access times. 

also its gunna be on my desk i am ocd

How is this relevant?

Neither is great. I would get a 512gb ssd instead and skip all the fooling around with RAIDs. While I like the Dark Rock cooler I'd stick with an EVGA 750W supernova G2 psu instead of either of your choices. While neither are poor, the EVGA is better still. I would also get a hdd for long term mass storage around the 2tb range.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!

About 50% faster for large file copies and very disk-intensive activities. Everything else will not noticeably change.

Yep. Personally I'd go for a single large drive so I could save SATA ports.
