No it's best for you to buy the hd 4850, preforms about the same as a 9800 gtx+ and its 100 usd and takes like 18A on the 12V rail. When getting ready to install it, just uninstall your graphic drivers on your computer.

Not necessarily. You can get a GTX260 and use the 9500 GT for the PhysX.

| if you're hardcore enough, you can actually cut off the pins you don't need and run it in a lesser lane... electrical tape also works.
