    I have a GTX 260 that could suffice, but I was under the impression that Nvidia disabled the ability to run Physx with an ATI card present, how would that be worked around?

    Intel core i5-750 vs i7-920

    Thanks for the reply! I currently use a single GTX 260 and have no plans to utilize SLI, so it would appear that an i5 system would best suit my needs and budget.
