The PhysX card is not a video card. It's a PPU (Physics Processing Unit), sort of like a dedicated CPU for physics. Not many games use PhysX, plus the card will not render graphics on its own.

The card will not do any good for running CnC3, and for your situation, is complete junk. I would advise, an old 7800, or if ya wanna be cool like everyone else, a 8800 GT. However, a PCI only mobo may become a problem...

X1300 PCI edition, the best card on the PCI interface I believe. It'll run Tiberium Wars, given the rest of your system meets requirements, not sure how much the PCI will bottleneck it, played Tiberium Wars on an X1300pro AGP 4x and I ran it nearly maxed.
