PhysX or no?

[JRfromWBC]

Planning a new build, money is burning a hole in my pocket.
I am hoping to run 3d and what not, so that will make this a 2-part question.
Drumroll, please...
1. Will this TV work as a 3d monitor?
2. Do I need/want a PhysX card with paired 580 gtx cards?
Thanks much for any constructive responses.

1) If you want to game at 1080p in 3D, you must find a monitor that has a dual link DVI connection. This TV doesn't, and just about all if not all 3D TV's lack this. It should still work for 3D movies.

2) If you are getting a pair of 580's, I'd forget about a dedicated card. There are few cases where a game even has a benefit GPU accelerated PhysX and in most those cases you won't likely notice much of a difference. You'll also end up blocking the air input fan making one of your cards to run hot, if not both. It's not worth it.

Thanks for the input.
I haven't built a rig in three years, gotta catch up on what's what.
Wish me luck, and be well!
