PCIE

Is PCI express really worth getting right now? AGP is plenty sufficient right now.

The only good reasons to go PCI-E now is either for the SLI upgrade path, or not having to change motherboards when the next gen comes out.

AGP is enough right now, wait for another year to switch over to PCI

No. There's no reason to pay extra to get PCI-e (ie upgrade from a sufficient AGP system). If you're getting a new computer, PCI-e is worth a look (particularly if you are considering Nforce4), but either way PCI-e offers no benefit yet. If you play on keeping your PC and not upgrading the motherboard for 3+ years, then yes get PCI-e because the next gen of cards will be PCI-e.

No reason to get PCIe right now. Unless you have a lot of money to burn with no improvement in performance -

IMHO
