So yeah, I've got a new video card coming in tomorrow, and I suddenly thought to myself, "Hey, it would be kind of a waste to just throw out that old one." So, I figure I'd use it as a dedicated PhysX card. Just need to know if my power supply can handle it. The new card is an Nvidia GTX 560, old one is an 8800GT (both factory overclocked as far as they can go, from what I can tell). I've got a 550w OCZ PSU, powering a Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0GHz and two sticks of RAM (4GB). Oh, also three big fans in the case, if that matters. Could also use a quick runthrough of the installation process; I've never had two cards in one machine before. Do I just stick the new one in there, download the drivers, and configure them with the Nvidia control panel? Thanks, guys!
There was something important here. It's gone now.

The thread was exceptionally helpful to me for my build, and I'm already very comfortable/experienced doing builds. Lots of great people/info there.
