I set the system drive of my new computer to Raid level 0, is this any good?

You mean drives, right? If you only have one hard drive, you don't have a RAID. RAID 0 is bad news because if one one of the drives goes down, you can lose all your data. And because there are two drives, you're more likely to experience a failure. Either run RAID 1 and accept the having of disk space at the benefit of redundancy or by two more drives and run RAID 3 or better.
