Think about how long you will use this system, look at the past, i think DDR3 prices are ok now but DDR3 needs to evaluate first before i will buy and use it.
In my opinion DDR2 can last for another 2 years, thats why i bought a X38 gigabyte motherboard which performs great, great overclockong on my Q6600, it goes easily into 3.6 till 4.0 Ghz and outperforms default Core 2 Extremes.
If you want to buy the latest technique you pay for it and the differences with "older" products is hardly noticable.
I think if that start talking about DDR4 and see some test of it on the internet, the time is ripe to go for DDR3.
