Graphics card thread

Sorry, I know there's probably a lot of these.

I'm looking to upgrade. Right now I'm using a GT 240 as my graphics card, and as you may know, it's just not cutting it and it's holding my system back (i7 920, 6gb ddr3 ram). I heard that you can use the 240 with another Nvidia card, using one as a dedicated physx (benefit?). I was looking at the GTX 470 because it seems like a decent cost for the performance. Would you agree with me?

Also, I'm using an X58B-A2 mobo and I've never installed a graphics card. How would I go about combining the two cards after installation (Is it SLI or crossfire?)?

Thanks for your help!

id get a 460 1gb or an ASUS 465 (their 465 is a 470 with some of the settings turned off, you can turn them on by flashing the bios or a free app off the asus website)before a 470.

second yes it does have a benefit and the 9600gt/gso/gt 240 are great cards to run physix off of. shame not too many games use it. in order to run your 240 for physix you need a psu capable of using both, as well as two pci-e x16 slots. no sli bridge is necissary.

I believe I have a 600 watt psu, would that be sufficient to run these?
