Will the e5-1650v2 ECC memory work with the asrock x79 exteme6 motherboard???

Hello engineers and tech gurus!  I've read throw many of the forms and thank all of you for the wonderful input!

Right now I'm getting ready to build a high end workstation for graphic processing.  It's similar to the DELL T3610 except the processor I'm using is the Xeon E5-1650V2 with a 6 core processor with 12MB cache.  (Dell is asking an extra $750 to upgrade).

I'm excited about this build however I do have some concerns and I've included my parts list bellow. 

First off, I need to see if my part list is compatible and with particular regards to the ECC. Since I process and archive client video & audio data and art-files I need to make sure these files are NOT corrupt.  I need to know if this motherboard is compatable with ECC or if there is a better choice for my e5-1650v2 processor than the asrock-x79-extreme6-lga2011 motherboard with the ECC in mind.  This is a professional application I need to make certain that this is a solid unit.

Also, are there special steps in setting up ECC?  Or is it more of a plug in and go?

Here is my build, let me know what you think?

If you need a solid workstation for critical work, don't get an Asrock board - in fact, don't get a consumer board.
It's simply not designed to take that CPU and ECC memory.
I would pick up an actual workstation board such as a Supermicro, or Asus WS series.
I would also steer clear o f that Sandforce-based SSD, and go for a Samsung 840 Pro or Crucial M500.  Depending how vital your data is and how much you want to spend, better models are available, but I certainly wouldn't go with a Sandforce drive in any situation.
