I'm looking to build my first PC, I've picked the parts I want and my budget limits me to either a 770 or R9 280x. Lately all the reviews, research and friends who own it, has put me in great favour of the 280x. However I do like PhysX. It's not a HUGE deal but I was wandering if this would all work together and if so, how to go about it.

CPU: Intel i5 4670K
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G43
PSU: Zalman ZM650-XG 650W

GPU's are Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X and the EVGA nVidia GT 610 as the PhysX card

Thanks.

By having a AMD and Nvida card in the same PC, your Nvidia card will not work until you remove the AMD card.

A GT610 is no good for a dedicated PhysX card; not enough CUDA cores. If you could even get Hybrid PhysX to work, which it hasn't had driver support for over two years, you would need at least a GT 640 or more to get good framerates.

I'm wondering what "reviews, research and friends who own it" have convinced you to get a lower performing 280X plus another dedicated PhysX card, rather than just a single, more powerful GTX 770 that can do PhysX on its own?
