Had PC for many years.. Startede with comedore 64/Amiga 500 (still have both...)

But like many others i found "other things"  (wife/kids/work)  and computer was a "work tool" and maby a littel gaming  in weekends... 

Welll now its no kids  no wife  and retired (disabled)  a LOT of time for gaming.. But with a 6 year old  laptop..  Thats no fun ...  So had to build one .. 

Just one thing .. Last time i build a PC  was when P4 was released.. 


Well had a little help to find the parts.. 
Ryzen 5 3600
MSI x570-A Pro
PNY CS3030 250GB SSD (NWMe) 
16gb Cosair  venagence 3000mhz (2x8gb)
2 x 250gb kingston SSD 
GTX 1660 Ti (MSI gaming)


Well think iam ready for a little gaming now

I fail to understand the point in buying three small SSDs, instead of one bigger one.

Open the start menu and start typing in "storage space".

It should find a single result and from that you should be able to create a software Raid0.

There are ways to do it on hardware, but there isn't much point.

IMO you'd be better off using each drives separately, one for games, another for personal data or whatever other use you have for them. Because other than maybe loading times, there isn't much benefit for gaming to using Raid.
