Any problems with this Renegade config?

You are on the wrong platform, that is the old tech.

that whole build is not optimized to give you most power for your money at all, specially at your res.

you are not getting premium to use 10GB, you are getting a 64bit os so that you can use more then 4GB which is a limit for a 32bit os.

to max out games at your res for the next 2 years checkout ode 3 price is $200 more but the performance comparing to your build is night and day, plus you get sli 570 which will eat single 580 for snack.

ode 3

thats one option for you.

another is for you to go custom build but price is gonna be closet to ode 3 again :

Here you go Ticket# 581358 --- $2,231 (To see this build click here)

I meant to pick the z68 mobo which is pro.

just because your mobo is sli capable does not mean you can do sli, you also need a psu that can support it, to give you proper sli, you need a 1000w corsair to sli 570.

for your res you want sli 570 not 560, the sli 560 will do good now but by this time next year with newer games like bf3, they will be crying and so will you.

the AeroCool is not saving you money, it giving you less airflow, haf is a beast and well worth the money, I would not change it to AeroCool.

I like your mobo/cpu cooler/case better.

but ode has sli 570 and that wins.
