So I am putting together a new rig for gaming and was curious about if SSD's in raid would yield any "real world" performance gains?
I was looking at these drives:

They already have a 525 read speed.
If I were to go with a raid configuration for 120GB I would pay around 200 bucks, whereas a 120GB drive would only cost me 160, saving me 40 dollars to put toward a better GPU. Were talking a 560 448 core 1gb vs a 570 1280mb.
Let's take world of warcraft for example since that game does a lot of loading for zones, instances, etc.
How much of a performance increase in load times would I see with a raid set up vs a single drive? Would it be noticeable?
