what fsb can your motherboard go up to? you can pick up a athlon 3200 for next to no money on ebay. that with a top end agp graphics card a fast hard drive and you have no need for pci express for a good while yet!
ive got a 3200 and a 9800pro and 1gb of ram and i can run any game to a good standard and i run a dual monitor setup on cineima 4d and do a bit of music on it, all very quite and no problems. apart from my power supply packing up a week ago.
im not going to upgrade for a while because ive got a very expensive pci maudio sound card with 8 ins and 8 outs that i use quite alot.
