So with all this physX stuff, your saying I'm basically screwed...
Not necessarily, if I understood. I have a similar config:

i5-2500k 3.3 Ghz, 8gb 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM, and an HD 6870 Graphics card.

Both processors, in theory, could handle PhysX quite well on our CPUs, since we'd be forced to do so there, cause of our Radeon GPUs. The problem would be more severe on older dual core processors where the load of the game PLUS the PhysX would simply be too much for the CPU.
