Im looking for something that is fairly fast and has good seek times and all that jazz :)

I want my OS and say 10 games on it and thats it. Ill keep the 200gig for storage.

Some say go raid a couple of 120gigers and some say get a raptor 75gig.

My mobo is in sig and yes it supports SATA and SATA II drives

raptor, bang/buck ratio is good :D
if you're looking to drop a bit more for a little better performance, you could get a dedicated PCI card for it, non-RAID but something decent, if that money is burning a hole in your pocket.

What games specifically do you play or foresee playing?

I would go for a raptor, but if you do not need something that fast, you could get away with a WD or Seagate SATA drive.

I picked up the seagate barracuda 320gig 7200.10 :D

Very nice drive
