can anyone tell me if i can? and what kind of GPU can i put in there? if not, then what are those slots for? aside from adding a soundcard or what not...

Not worth it since only low power cards available for the PCI slot which is the only one you have spare.

You have 1 PCI-e 16x slot that i assume your GTX 560 TI is in, there are 2 white PCI slots which are meant for older and lower bandwidth expansion cards like sound cards and TV tuner cards, the little slot is a PCI-e 1x slot which doesn't give much bandwidth so i wouldnt stick something like a 9800 GT in it even for PhysX only.

You shouldn't take too large of a hit with physX on a 560 Ti, give it a shot and see what happens, otherwise your board doesn't really have a good way to support a physX card.
