So happy I received my new parts. One problem, I cant get my gigabyte MB to enter raid setup <bios>. I havent installed drivers or any thing yet. This will be my set up when finished.

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core 3.9GHz
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
XFX R9-280X-TDFD Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5
Corsair GS700 Gaming PS

On a budget and yes I missed a SSD

But any help with the raid problem would be appreciated

Oh, and its Win7

Drives are WD Raptors(10k rpm) 75gig x2
Was going to go Raid 0 (mirrored one) for a speed boost. I don't know raid that well.

My bios is up to date. I installed AMD raid drivers. It initializes the raid set up and immediately enters scanning for drives but never finds any.
