There is much difference between PCIe and APG cards, PCIe are quite more powerful than AGP ones, their "memory bandwidth" is bigger and such.
The new GeForces seem to be a good option, they're more "powerful" than ATI, while these have a better driver, so they can do ALMOST the same without so much power (or at least it was like this 2 or 3 years ago). I'd recommend a GeForce PCIe, since you have the slot, it won't fail you! ;)
