I'd say some hybrid of your two lists would be best.

On Ailos's I'll only say, don't get a B75 chipset, get H77 or Z77.
H77 has future upgradability features you do want, like RAID or Intel Smart Response cacheing. And you actively don't want B75's Intel Small Business Advantage.

On yours, You've misplaced priorities some, that graphics card is weak and you don't want to have 4 RAM slots taken up right way, 2x4gb or 2x8gb (if you think you need 16gb right now) is better. I think the mobo is a pretty good choice, but you're budget-worries get than ASRock Z77 that's $30 cheaper.
Like he said, Crossfire/SLI is not a future-proofer.

You need to give a number on your budget that gives us a bit better target. "Low as possible" tends to make things hard to figure out.
