I have a samsung 830 128gb ssd, i was wondering If I bought a 2nd could I put them in raid 0, and how?

Also, what exactly does raid 0 mean, will it be even faster?

and does it combine the two into one 256gb drive ?

You can put them in raid 0, either by using your onboard sata3 ports, or use an add-on RAID card. You would have to use your bios to enable raid, and from what I saw on your board only 2 of the 4 sata3 ports support raid functions, and all 4 sata2 ports can have raid, too. You would also have to reinstall windows onto the raid or use an image.

Read up on raid on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID, but essentially your data is split up (striped) onto two or more disks, creating faster reads and writes since both disks are working at the same time. It is a little riskier, as a single disk failure destroys the raid and all data.

Yes, it would appear as a single 256gb drive.

How to set up Raid 0
