Hey, I am trying to build a new computer for my roomate and was wondering if Dual core/PCI Express would be the best choices for an Intel build? Here is what we have selected so far
Monitor: Samsung 19" LCD

Case:Thermaltake soprano
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811133157
Graphics Card: ATI x850xt PE PCI E
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102554
Mem: OCZ EL platinum Rev. 2 DDR 3200

Mobo: ASUS P5WD2 Premium Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 955X ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131534
CPU: Intel Pentium D 820 Smithfield 800MHz FSB 2 x 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor

DVD drive: NEC dvd burner

Concerns: I'm new to PCI Express, is this really worth the extra money over the X850xt AGP card that is 100 dollars less on newegg? What would be a good motherboard for an AGP Card (for the same CPU)?
Also Will the 430 watt power supply be enough to handle this setup?
The system will be used for mainly light gaming, and multitasking and video editing.
Any feedback and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks
