64gb in raid 0 is faster and cheaper than a single 64gb SSD, and should still fit Windows + WoW + a couple other games with space to spare. Note also the included WD Black 1Tb for additional storage as well, hehe.

...same board CM mentioned, just the version without USB3. I've gotta say, though, it's an excellent board.
