Hey guys... i got a question... i´m kinda new with workstations builds and this kind of stuff.... but can i install a Xeon E5 2620 with an Asus X97 mobo?

These are the links of each one:

CPU: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F29C61K/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
MOBO: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Sabertooth-X79-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B0061XSBZG/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1423925267&sr=8-7&keywords=asrock+x79

And also i want to pair this config with a Quadro K2200, it´s that a good option for a workstation that will handle programas like 3D Max, Autocad, Photoshop, etc?

Thank you for your help and answers.

Here is the supported CPU list from the manufacturer's website. The E5-2620 V2 is supported. The BIOS is 4502 which was released in 2013 so any new board you buy should support it without a BIOS upgrade.
