ASUS GTX 760 with PhysX, does it actually work? and other questions

[Kirosaka]

Does PhysX work on an ASUS GTX 760 video card?.

Does anyone know a good SLI motherboard that can run 2 760s OC and an Amd eight core cpu (I know, too many cores : P).

Is a corsair enthusiast edition 850TX a good PSU for 2 760s? or should I go down a little with the PSU?

Any help, is appreciated.

850TX is a great PSU for SLI cards, you can go down, but not too far, the lowest you can go down to is HX750. However, I recommend you stick to the 850. Any 700 series card has PhysX, meaning an Asus 760 does have PhysX. Be aware that PhysX is only supported by some games, like Borderlands 2, there's very few games that use PhysX, but even without it, SLI 760s are great cards. There's a whole lot of motherboards that support from SLI to quad sli, giving me a budget would help. Also, if I could know what your PC specs are or what your case is, it would help too.

Ah thx you so much man
The budget for my PC upgrade 665.50 Euros

EDIT: The new PC parts that I'm gonna buy are
Mobo: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
GPU: MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC (Gtx 760 OC, in short)
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX850M
Case: NZXT Crafted Series Phantom
I will add these parts with my older parts:
Amd FX(tm) Eight core 8120
And of course my hard drive

Any further help would be appreciated

PSU wise, quality is the most important issue to consider.
I have an OC'd 4770k and two OC's GTX 760s and my system won't take more than 400 watts from the wall
no matter what I do. Normal gaming it draws 320-370W from the wall. AMD does draw more, but you can see that
you don't need a 850W PSU unless you really want one.

I still wouldn't go for a 550W, as there can be power spikes that would be a problem. Just pick a 650 or 750 from
a good manufacturer and make sure it has the right connectors on it for your GPUs and enough power on that rail.
