First, I would like to say this is not a buying advice request.

I currently have a early 2011 MBP i7@2.2GHZ with the 1GB dedicated graphics.
My hard drive is stock, so is my RAM. I was debating with a friend what would be the best choice as of now between an upgrade to my machine or the Retina MBP.

Option 1:
Adding 16GB RAM
Adding Optibay with 2 128GB SSD in Raid 0 (Should score ~1GB/s
Total Cost: 360$

Option 2
New MBP Retina, Base model
Total Cost: 2200$

For games, which one would you think that is better, at 1080p?
