So im prepping things for christmas and im going with an fx-6300 and a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3, both without onboard graphics. Im also throwing in a 750. So the question is:would the boot menu show up if i run the display through the graphics card when its driver isnt installed?

Yes. Long story short; every GPU has something called VGA mode. This is a mode the BIOS and OS before loading up any drivers use.
