Default What is the best bang for buck SSD for OS only?

If I were to get 2 SSD's in raid for just my OS/games/apps (no storage) what would be the best ones to go with? Keep in mind I want bang-for-buck SSD's, not looking at those $500 Intel ones. I dunno how much space, but I would guess at least 100gb with all my games and OS installed. I want an SSD for the speed of opening everyday programs, so heres a list of what I use the most
MS Office
Xfire
Steam
Pigeon (IM prog)
Firefox
uTorrent
Then my games.

I would suggest the Patriot Torqx series.

They just got up'd to a 10 year warranty, pretty damn fast too!

Your option is to get either 1 ssd that has 120 gig or 2 64 gig ssd and raid them(performance). The torqx that was suggested above has the 64mb cache and uses idilinix w/ great 10 year warranty. The new torqx M28 comes in 2 sizes 128gig and 256 gig with a 128mb cache(will be out soon and aslo 10yr warranty). The other SSD that are good would be the OCZ vertex, Gskill Falcons.
