yeah! what else? Unless you got another GTX 550 Ti in your new system, which could be sli-ed. Or. may be in your new build you used an amd gpu, in that case you can use the GTX 550 Ti as a physx card. I don't see any use for the cpu and the board.

Well i currently have an EVGA gtx 670 FTW in new comp. How would i go about using the 550ti as a dedicated psychx? Do i just plug it into the sli slot and boom?

This is my setup:
AMD fx 8350
gigabyte 990FXa-ud3
8gb ram
EVGA gtx 670 FTW
700 watt powersupply

My question is will my 700 watt psu be enough for this to add the gtx 550 ti?

Also the link you sent me the description is not very good. Will i have to connet the SLI wire to both cards if im making the 550ti the deticated psychx card?

What brand is your PSU? It should be fine if it's a good one.

No, you don't se the SLI bridge for PhysX setup. Just install the 550 and go to the Nvidia control panel, and select it as your dedicated PhysX GPU then you should be good to go.

Ok thanks for all the help. Just out of curiosity do setups with psych x dedicated cards increase performance by alot?

Not necessarily because PhysX is not present in all or even the majority of games. Here is a list from Nvidia, besides that though you won't see performance boosts in much else.
