will it be dual boot? im running linux mint 17, windows 7 and mac os x on three separate hard drives. I did dual boor mac os x and windows 7 on the same hard drive but it was a nightmare so i would recommend a separate hard drive for mac os x.

 

Specs:

Intel core i5 3570

MSI B75IA-E33

Zotac GTX 760

8gb ram

and running mac os on an old 160gb samsung hard drive. I would recommend using niresh.
