Looking at building a new system, but just wanting to make sure certain things will be compatible, primarily the RAM and CPU

CPU:

RAM:

My concern is the channels, processor says dual channel, am I right in thinking it won't be able to support triple channel RAM? or am I miles wrong?

The last time I built my system, there was nothing even remotely as complex as these issues, so wanting to make sure beforehand.

PC will be used for games, photoshop and 3d modelling, So I'm thinking more would be better hehe.

I'm thinking 8Gb to futureproof myself, and also I'll be doing more PS and 3DSMAX on a machine that can handle it.
Current one does the job, but has started to fall over and die on occasion.
