I am running out of space myself but I do not want to attempt a RAID unless on a fresh install of everything.

If the new drive is fast I would just reinstall the major programs on to it (Steam, FSX or whatever else is 2+GB in size) Let the old drive boot the PC and your base programs and browsing. And call it a day. Raid 0 without 2 SATA drives is just not worth it.
