Why buy the GT240 when you have a perfectly good 9800GTX+ to use that would be better at handling the Physx?

My vote goes to GTX480 & 9800GTX+

The wheels are nice (I ride a Ninja 600 myself), but you'd get more benefit out of the cards. The wheels would sit there and look nice...and that's about it.

EDIT: Wow, just realized these are for a bicycle, not a motorcycle lol. I feel dumb

I don't even know what the wheels are for the road bike, but I choose them. Way cooler than spending the dough on a PC that won't outlive the bike...
