if "new" video card is agp & if new motherboard has pci-e slot than can't use the "new" card as new board doesn't have agp!!

why not get a board that has pci-e & get the new video card now instead of having to get another new board

i could get the board and cpu combo for about 15 dollars more with a pci-e board.....then the card would be about another $200....thats why im figuring ill do that later is the cost of the card.... but i dont know this is the one area ive been debating with thew most.....im still undecided....trying to weigh it out here....
