Hey!
I'm helping a friend build his little sister's first gaming PC.
He's got 2 EVGA GTX 760's we've gonna run in SLI.
And we started to ask, should we use my old Asus GTX 760 mini as a physx card?
The motherboard is a MSI z87-g45.
Running a i5 4670K.

You probably could but i doubt it will give much noticeable gains, i personally wouldn't simply because the amount of power usage, heat output and case congestion that would be used running 3 cards in a system. I mean does he even have enough Power connectors to run this many cards?

As far as i know some games heavy on PhysX do show some gains from a dedicated PhysX card, whilst overs get no gain whatsoever, hence my opinion above.
