There is a certain alloy they use in manufacturing DDR2 that makes it more expensive than DDR3. DDR3 is the better ram, also happens to be the cheaper. As far as overclocking, it's not too difficult once you understand the concept. Do keep in mind that the larger the MB and the more powerful the processor your gonna need a larger PSU. You can probably build a decent machine for 600 bucks.

this is actually bullshit. DDR3 has a much higher latency than DDR2. DDR2 will outperform DDR3 until you reach higher clockspeeds. If you are looking for performance at a low price point you should stick with DDR2. You get what you pay for... cheaper DDR3 will not perform as well as equivalent DDR2. At identical price points the DDR2 will outperform DDR3 until you reach the higher performance RAM.
