oh, and for graphics, you're going to really struggle to find many AGP graphics cards at all nowadays - they're actually more expensive than pci-e now, like for like, and agp4x is completely superceded. agp8x cards will run fine, just with a bottleneck to the motherboard.

if you can, I'd suggest a geforce 6600/6800board, but a quick look on Novatech's listings has very few made. you don;t need the polygon-melting power of the 7n/8n series cards, and the 6-series are pretty good - I used a single 6800ultra for a long time for 3d and graphics and it worked well.

if money's not a worry for a board, http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?BFG-76GS5
I can really reccommend BFG cards, even though that one will have more 3d processing power than you'll pretty much ever need- my BFG cards have worked flawlessly since my last Asus card blew up, and nvidia's drivers are dead simple to run, and have graphics control panels that should let you look at altering the monitor output along with your monitor settings to allow you to set up for proper print calibration - what you see on the screen will be what you print.

which I'm sure you'll value.
