So im having trouble deciding between this mobo and ram.

So would this mobo work with the graphix card and would it limit the cpu too badly?

Or this MOBO and Ram

The pc would be doing graphics work, photoshop, high-end gaming and stuff of this nature. With the second set of ram and mobo the price is 2.5k. This rig needs to be fututure proof.

Im designing this rig for someone who wanted to buy an alien ware and is willing to fork over 3k.
