PCI Express is not going to be the revelation you make it out to be--at least not for a while after it's released. The difference in performance between 8x AGP and 4x AGP is about 2-5%. PCI Express is going to be the same way to 8x AGP. The video cards that are going to be using PCI-Express initially will be the Radeon X800 and the GeForce 6800, which already exist in AGP form, and would show little performance benefit from the new technology.

The 9800 will be a great card to use until PCI Express becomes the norm in a few years, at which point upgrading would make a lot more sense.
