So are there any motherboards available at the moment that will support this type of CPU?
Yes I know that 780i, x38, and P35 (I am pretty sure) do.
Or will any be coming out within the next 3 months or so?
The boards I have been hearing about (not sure when they come out) are the x48 and the 790i.
As for CPU, anything coming out with the next couple of months? If not should I go with the q6600 or one of the better dual core. (not sure which is one of the top dual core)
The pricing charts I have seen show the dual core 45nm CPUs come out january at a very good price, but the yorksfield (quads) were delayed a couple months. I would say either wait for a new penryn, or go ahead and grab a q6600 if you want, since the penryns only get about a 5% performance increase at the same clock.
And as for RAM? I should make sure my motherboard supports DDR3? Right? But at the moment DDR3 looks to be expensive...so maybe I should just something with DDR2?
DDR2 is all you need for now, ddr3 is overpriced and isn't really that great of a jump. A good amount (2-4gigs) of ddr2 should be all you need for a while.
Good luck = )

Ahh, Thank you good sir. I may just get the Q6600, since I like to multi-task. And then hopefully in the future, I will be able to pick up a good core 45nm Cpu.
My main concern with DDR2 is that it will be hard to find like DDR1 is, in a couple of years. That's why I wanted to jump on DDR3 ram if I see if for about a $100.
