Yeah but it's not about the space, I don't know many people who store over 128 gb of softwares and stuff. You have to remember you also have a regular HDD with like 1tb. I mean if you're to really go for 256gb, I'd go raid 0 with 2*128 for the same performance price.

Fix'd (I'm pretty sure you meant price there)
Games too :P

256GB fills up fast with games you like.
I'd recommend putting steam on your SSD, then making symbolic links to the HDD for games you don't play that much. (I.E you put those games files on the HDD with a special kind of link in the folders they're normally supposed to be in on the SSD)

It seems you just don't understand.. The performance gains from 2*128 vs 1*256 is much smaller compared to 256 vs HDD. Access times won't get better in RAID and other stuff won't either.
SSDs nowadays don't need more speed, they need size and reliability. Thus 256GB is a better option imo.

GUYS keep this discussion elsewhere, he doesn't even know how to build a computer so let's not get too annoying and complicated with RAID and symbolic links...
