Alienware 15 R2 Ram and m.2 upgrade need help

Hi everyone, so i am goig to buy a new A15 next week and some upgrades too, because i have no experience in this i need some help, i looked up in many posts and forums everthin got complicated for me so my question is below.

The system i buy:

Alienware 15 R2

i7-6700HQ

GTX980M 8GB GDDR5

8GB RAM DDR4 (2133Mhz)

1TB HDD

4K IPS 300nit Screen

The upgrades i buy:

2x Samsung 256gb PRO 950 M.2 SSD with Nvme ( my goal is making raid0 for good performance and they going to be boot drives)

2x 16GB HyperX Fury 2133 Ram (total 32gb but heard the bios need settings)

So i would be very happy how i can do thos upgrades and wether they are compatible and possible?

BEST Regards
