They are two different things. PCI express is a newer format used for video cards

PCI Express will also be used eventually for most, if not all, peripheral cards, and is all serial, which allows it to have much faster data transfer rates.

If you have enough money in your budget go for the 7800, but a 6800 series won't phase out anytime soon.
