Hi, I am planning to get an SSD as a boot drive and get two 1Tb HDD and tun them in raid 0 so games load faster. Is it worth going for raid 0 or should I just get a 2Tb HDD?

thanks

A software RAID 0 is a terrible idea it you are not having an UPS and ECC memory. And the hardware controllers on the consumer MoBos are also quite terrible when they expereince a sudden power loss. If you can, use ~50 GByte of your SSD as cache for the HDDs if you really need more speed.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil
