get another HDD for Raid-0

What's the major benefit here and would I be able to set this up at a later date?

You pretty much get 2x HDD speed, setting up at a later date is not recommended since you'd need a fresh install again, big difference in performance though. The only down side is I have a HDD dedicated to backing it up every week or so while I sleep so it's a simple matter of restoring the HDD in case the raid array goes bad. Not that backing up your data isn't a standard practice for a lot of people anyways.

You could also make use of the Z68's Intel Smart Response right? I suppose you'd get more performance, though with an SSD it might be more expensive.

SSD is too much money, performance vs cost doesn't add up with consumer level hardware compared to the cheaper solution yet, the level of hardware he's getting is obviously not for an enthuist build.
