So, I'm lookingto get a new HDD and I'm not sure what to get. Should I get a 10k rpm one or two 7,200 ones and set them RAID0. Also, which one is faster than the other? ANy help would be appreciated.

2x 7200s will run faster than one 10k, and if you already have a RAID controller, it's cheaper for a lot more space.
I would highly reccommend two smaller drives on a RAID0 with OS, apps, and game installs, and use single drives (or multiple on a RAID1/5 if you're really paranoid/rich) for data storage. It'll distribute the workload pretty well if you want to watch a movie while running a game or whatever you do. :P
