Alienware 17-R1: Upgrading to SSD

Hello,

I am planning to upgrade my Alienware 17 from 750 BG HDD with 64 GB SSD Cache to a 256 GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD and use the SSD as boot drive of Windows 8.

I have gone through lot of pages, forums etc etc and saw options of Alienrespawn, Shrink Volume for cloning. Clean installation etc.... But now I am confused :D..... My main target is

1. Use SSD as WIN 8 boot drive with all drivers & themes, wallpapers & other factory softwares.

2. 750 GB hdd with 64 GB SSD Caching to use as storage. (Now how to do the caching configuration, I am doubtful)

I am ready to do a clean installtion, but I dont want to loose any themes or softwares which comes with stock alienware. Also I want optimum SSD Performance.

It will be really helpful If I get any assistance. Thanks in advance.
