Hi, and welcome to the ROGs.
You can´t simply take harddrives with OS and programs and hook them onto a new mainboard, stuff doesn´t work like that. RAID0 is potentially risky business, if one drive fails, they´re both toast.
If you still have your old rig, re-insert your RAID drives, cross fingers, wait for new drive to arrive, set that up with OS, and then if your RAID 0 on your old rig works, copy files from there.
Or insert new drive as storage drive in your old rig, wipe your RAID-drives, and put them in your new rig, bring the new storage drive over with all the files.

You´re welcome, 7styles.
Don´t know if (don´t think) you can transpose a disc image to another system (the drive being RAID 0 doesn´t matter, it is just seen as a single drive).
If you´re getting an SSD, get one with good read and write speed, like the Samsung 830, and hook it up to the fast SATA port, you don´t need RAID0. Sure you can measure some difference in performance, but I doubt you´d feel the difference, I can´t speak from personal experience, but you read this and that in trust worthy reviews.
You can´t drag and drop installed programs, you have to reinstall.
So, to make it easy, install SSD, get OS running, copy all important installable files and folders, and burn them onto a media, then feed your new rig with that.
I don´t know if it´s possible to un-RAID two RAID0 drives, we´ll have to ask one of the wizards here, because that would open the possibilityof getting all your files onto one drive, and then just install that in your new rig as a storage drive.
How big will your SSD be?

Alright, mate.
The OCZ ssd is Sandforce controlled, and you could have trouble with that. I´ve also read that the OCZ speed starts to drop after it gets 50% full. I was going for an Intel 500-series myself, and they may have cracked the issues with the Sandforce controller, but Samsung don´t rely on SF.
Samsung ssd get such good reviews everywhere I look, that I´m no longer in doubt what to get.
Good idea to get a 120-ish just for the OS, and there´s a tweak to trick programs that force themselves onto C-drive and take up valuable space. I asked for it in a thread, hang on...there you go, mate.

How about acquiring a cheap a** external hdd, or perhaps you could borrow from a friend, connect it to your old rig, drag all you want onto it, then, after you´ve installed OS on ssd, and installed the two hdds, wiped them, then set them up for raid, then connect ext. hdd to your new system and transfer to your RAID-setup...?
My two cents worth 😉
