Should I upgrade?

[hlonipha]

Currently upgraded my hardware to MB-Asus RIVE, CPU-INTEL 3930K and Memory G Skill 32 gig kit (all on order and should arrive tomorrow).

My question is: Should I upgrade my 4 Crucial C300 Real ssd drives? Mind that all 4 are connected to
an ARECA 1880i raid card on raid 0 as the OS system drive.

I can get the intel 520 180 gig drives locally. Will the upgrade be worth it or should I get a new pair of graphic cards (currently running 2 gtx 480 on sli). or should I save my cash for next gen nvidia cards?

I mostly play BF3 and encode videos.

Thanks

the intel 520 is slow and sandforce based, it is not good when compared to the marvel and new ocz drives (they are marvel but they call it indi.)

changing to a current graphics card would take you from 600W+ in gpu to about 400W. it would also get you 2 copies of borderlands 2

But the question still unanswered, have the improvements in today's ssd would justify replacing my current drives? Will I notice significant improvement during real world applications?

Thanks

will not see a difference upgrading your drives
