If you're not RAIDing your OS drive, then no, you don't need to reinstall your OS. You will lose whatever is on the SSDs you plan to RAID 0 though.

Hey there,
 
Generally speaking you don't need to reinstall your OS in order to create a RAID array from other drives. It depends if you are doing software or hardware RAID. If you are going for hardware I would follow the manual of the motherboard (or the controller card if you are doing it with a separate one). If you are going for simple software RAID you shouldn't have problems doing it from Disk Management.
