I was thinking about cheapest components for my gtx 670 so they would not bottleneck the card. I have Corsair TX 650W atm, and OK case (but without usb3.0 front panel). Other components, which i use now (e6300 cpu, some old mobo and old ram) are to be bought. I don't want over powered, just to let gtx670 work good. I found i5-3350P processor so far. What would you recommend thou? :)
 
Solution
For ram I will suggest getting a 2x2GB kit or 2x4GB kit of ram to take advantage of dual channel operation
You can attempt to use the old graphics card for phys-X but because of it's age, there may be driver conflicts using the two cards - shouldn't hurt anything to try except I don't think there'll be any advantage if just for gaming

i already bought something (i5 3570K, GA-Z77-DS3H, Crucial 4GB 1x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL11 X2), but now i wonder does keeping my old card (http://www.inno3d.com/products/graphic_card/gtx200/gtx260_freezerx2.html) for physX will give me much or it would be the other way, it will slow down games. But its probably topic for different category.
