What? Should all be fine so long as his PSU is sufficient, which it probably is... beware though, those 260s eat up a lot of power. I'd remove it and not bother with a dedicated PhysX card to be honest.

Not all video card would accept PCIe power converter, since most time PCIe power converter didn't met power that video card requirement and is risk. XFX wouldn't recommend this as well. I had to agree that removing dedicated PhysX would be better in order to save energy but it worth for Borderland 2 that use PhysX. Just say.
Looks a lot better than before. If you take your SSD out, mount it the other way so it's facing the other way, then you can route your SATA cable behind the motherboard tray.
Argghhh I really wanna say to you "pass it over here and I'll do it", but can't do that online!

Yeah hence why I think he should remove it. It's a power hungry beast too!

Yeah. I remember that GTX 2XX series is pretty power hungry than new video card.

How does the 680 perform with a 260 for Physx?
Have you tested the 680 alone,then 680 + 260 Physx?

Does it, actually make a difference?
Probably not.
I ran some bench and look on results:
Mafia 2:
GTX680 alone - avg. 47,1
GTX680 + GTX260 - avg. 56,4
Batman AC:
GTX680 alone - avg. 47,2
GTX680 + GTX260 - avg. 52,6
Metro 2033:
GTX680 alone - avg. 29,2
GTX680 + GTX260 - avg. 31,0
Enjoy!
BTW: I bought 2 Noise Blocker XL2 120mm for up in my case.

Lol, it's like SLI but with different cards and less performance boost.
Why doesn't amd have something like that !?
If you have AMD video card you can use Geforce as physX.
