You'll still get nice speeds on a SATA2 connection.

Oh yes, you'll get better speed saturation with an SSD than a 10k drive, no doubt about it. Plus, you'll surely get an sata3 mobo eventually. Technically, you could always connect that SSD to a sata3 controller card and shove it into a pci-e slot. Though, 10k drives are still pretty darn fast. Though I find them a bit loud.
Me, I've still not bothered with an SSD. I had one in my rig for a few days to try it out. Sure, it booted to desktop very quickly, and games loaded a bit faster. But my 7200rpm still takes under 20 seconds to boot, I still am among the first batch of players to load a match, and I don't care if programs take an extra second to start up. Any large fielo moves in my case are big enough that I wouldn't want to keep them on an SSD anyway. Well okay, BF4 is the first time I've actually coem close to wanting SSD load times.
Tough..still considering a RAID setup when i get my taxes back.... I was hoping the PCI-E drives would become more popular by this time.

Well you definitely don't want a bottleneck if you can avoid it. A nice warm 10k rpm Raptor will work just fine. SSD drives main advantage is load times, not gaming performance, so you won't suffer in game with a 10k HDD. Isn't a new build fun
I love it when it comes time to upgrade... my wallet however screams in silent agony
