Yes that is fine, but if you're buying a new computer, you might want to
get a PCIe motherboard instead. Most new videocards are PCIe.

Also, you might want to go with RAID-0 which will defiately help with video
capturing/editing.

Thanks for the reply. Reason I didn't go for PCIe is because I already have
a Matrox G450eTV AGP tuner/capture which I still use for capturing from
analogue sources and TV. It works very well and I couldn't justify the
expense of buying a new PCIe video card.

I use a Nforce3 ultra chipset K8NS 939. More modern chipset.

I found this combo agp/pci.xpress board interesting:

You get sata2 and pci express.

Speed is fairly good.

You could get a PCI TV capture card with a hardware MPEG2 encoder. Theses
cards cost about 100 - 120.00USD. Even a new PCIe video card + capture is
around 200.00USD.

If you're not going to get a PCIe card... you might want to consider a
Socket 754 motherboard instead - they're cheaper and support AGP. While 754
CPUs are older, they still have enough CPU power for video editing. You can
get some 754 Motherboard + CPU combos for ~100.00USD! : )

Too late, I've already bought the items in OP.
One question, can PCIe be added afterwards?

Unfotunatey no. PCIe is a new bus technology and is built into your
motherboard.
