The thing that I think has made the most difference is the SSD. I put my OS and commonly used programs (MS Office, Firefox, BF2, Steam) on the SSD, then my other stuff and music and video files on my RAID.
One of the coolest instance of letting my PC feel its oats is to use Xilisoft Video Converter. Uses all 4 cores at full speed, and can convert an 8 GB .wtv show into Ipod friendly format in like 4 minutes.
