    PCI-E has a better upgrade path than AGP which is almost dead.
    SLI is a rip-off IMO. It allows you to use 2x SLI capable PCI-E video cards for much less than 2x the performance gain.
    www.scan.co.uk & www.ebuyer.com are both good sites that I've used with little problems. Scan's customer service is second to none.
