I've been looking around the forums but I cant seem to find what im looking for. I trying to find out what stripe size I should use for my gaming desktop. I'm a complete noob when it comes to raid, but so far I have seen that either 64kb or 128kb is the best. Any suggestions?

Have you considered that you're unlikely to see much difference in gaming with RAID 0 anyway? How much difference you'll see depends on a lot of things, but with your typical 2-drive onboard controller setup the performance increase is essentially nil. Anandtech has done more than one comparison on the subject.

Personally, I don't consider the added risk of data loss worth it.
