Should I use my 9800 GTX as Physx?

[ares640]

I just built a new system and I was wondering if there would be any benefit of using my old 9800 GTX in my new rig as a Physx card. I know not many game engines support this, but it would be better than just shelving the card. Is it worth it, or would it just be a waste of power and extra heat in my case?

i5 2500k
MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr III
MSI Z68A-GD55
Corsair HX850 watt
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600mhz
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Hitachi Deskstar 1TB
Cooler Master HAF 932

With that setup it's probably not necessary. You will still get good performance in just about any physx game with the GTX 570 handling both graphics and physx. Better to shelve the 9800, unless you almost exclusively play Metro 2033, Batman, Mafia 2, and/or Unreal Tournament 3.
