My System

Ralck is correct - adding PCI-Express to your motherboard is not possible, unfortunately.

However, as Ralck said, there are still some very good AGP video cards available - the 7800GS being the best. Even the 6800 range will handle all the latest games at low to medium detail settings. If you're looking to get more performance, I'd upgrade to a 6800, and then start saving. IMHO, if you have enough money to buy a 7800GS, you might as well upgrade your system to PCI-Express.

I'd definitely hold off a while for a major upgrade - save your money and do it right.
