Motherboard question

Good Day Carb

Okay so I have a stupid question. I have googled on it but don't trust my findings much or my 10year experience with PC components.

I have a MSI Z77A-G43 board. It supports ATI Xfire but not nVidia SLI because it only has one PCI-e X16 slot. I have an extra nVidia card laying around and want to find out if I can use it as a dedicated physx processor in the second PCI-e X8 slot (obviously not using a SLI bridge)?

Thanks in advance

My PSU has about 200W left to give so there is juice. Should I go ahead, in your opinion?

Rather get some more experienced guys opinion cos i really don't know...but being me I would've done it anyway... If it doesn't post I'd just take out the 2nd gpu and restart...

Did some extra research. Most say a 9600GT as a dedicated physx card would be better than to even use a i7 as your dedicated processor. So I'm wondering
