I think the real question becomes whether or not it is worth investing $300 into the previous generation architecture. I would say that it's not worth it unless you have a very high-end server-class CPU.
BTW, you can get 16GB for DDR3 for under $100:

At that point, maybe investing the remaining $200 into a new CPU/Mobo would be a far better investment than into 16GB DDR2?
In early 2012, $86 would have gotten you 16GB
Amazon seems to have the same price. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RFBIUU?
Actually no! Yes technology does advance at a rapid rate, but you don't need the best and highest end to feel secure with what you have. You can still game on a PC, but sometimes it gets tempting to add better parts to it. Here is my build.
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Hard Drive
Case
GPU
These are the basics of my build. There are other things in it, but aren't important as of right now. The GPU, RAM, Hard Drive, and Case are what remain from the original build. Everything else either broke or were given away since I upgraded. Right now I am working on my last upgrade before I refrain from putting more money into my PC. I say this because there is a limit to how powerful you can make a PC before your next upgrade gives you diminishing returns.
If you set a goal for your gaming PC to be 1080p with steady 60fps and good graphics, then there are great budget builds on PC Part Picker. Feel free to head over to /r/buildapc for any questions you would like answered in their FAQ, or even ask me!

16gb of the same speed same brand for $85
I am going to switch the ram to this
Thanks you for the response, but would these work better than the 8gb and remove the possibility of having issues?
