That is not a good build. Since you are buying new stuff. Go ahead and find a true PCIe motherboard. That AsRock only has PCIe at 4x, besides AGP is dying, do not spend money on that bus.

Your current total is about: $380

Replace motherboard with this:
AsRock P45 with dual PCIe for crossfire $94.99

video card:
HD4830 Saphire $109

Ram:
GSkil DDR2 800mhz $39.99

Keep the same CPU and PSU. Your new total will be about $381. Plenty of upgrade path, and will be alot faster than an AGP system.
