The machine is running perfectly. I needed to have the HDD drives disconnected when performing the windows install. I had one snafu. I had the bios set to AHCI when I did the install, I figured that since only the SSD was connected RAID mode should be deactivated. After everything was loaded up, I powered down, connected the HDDs, powered up and changed the bios to RAID, and booted up to a BSOD. Sure I let loose a couple cuss words, but I didn't panic. A quick search on google and 15 minutes later everything was running perfect. All I needed to do was a switch back to AHCI in bios and tweek the registry.
Here's the change you need to make while in windows under ahci.
run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\iaStorV
Change the Start REG_DWORD from 3 to 0
Restart into bios, change to raid and it should not bsod when booting up.
Credit is given to Medo145 from the Overclockers.com forum for this fix. It worked A1 on the first go.
Big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to help me out with this. Thanks :)
