I currently have 2 DDR3 1333mhz Ram sticks and Im upgrading my cpu and motherboard within a week or so... Should I also pick up some DDR4 ram or is it not worth it?

No, not worth it. Wait for mainstream release with Skylake. Post your whole build please.

That requires a motherboard capable of DDR4.

Will have to go X99, very high end and expensive to run DDR4 this early in it's life cycle

With CPUs all have IMC, it requires a CPU that can run DDR4 as well.

DDR4 won't fit. It has more pins and is longer than DDR2 or 3. As well as being only rated at 1.2V.
