Of course. I'm just saying for ease of use on the OP. Gigabyte would be the way i would suggest :P Up to OP really.

Found an "Equal" of the OC formula from gigabyte, the nice ol' sniper if the OP wants, its like $20 more expensive, so not much of a difference

Thats fine, its just the reason I put 3 screen's in was because nvidia surround with three monitors. And the two 780's would pwn at 5760x1080.

I might add a third later on.

I never said you couldn't, I actually have a nice gigabyte in my 8350 build, its just that I quite enjoy ASrock's OC formula more than any gigabyte Z87 boards

 

(Everyone can have their own opinions :P lets just leave it at that)

Yes. You'd be able to access each HDD from either OS. 

are you sure? so if i have 2 ssd's each  containing a different OS and just change around which OS I use, the HDD for storage will show up in both Windows Explorer and Finder?

 

What about different file types, etc
