Get open air and get a 7700K. The 6600K bottleneck them...

would I need to change mother boards?

No, the only thing that you have to do is update your BIOS....

I'd actually recommend a blower style card for the bottom slot since your case only has 2x 120mm exhaust fans, and open air in the top slot. I'm actually surprised that Antec manages to cram more fans into a similarly sized case (albeit-one that doesn't look any where near as good).

Run two blower/founders cards. If you mix models of graphics cards, you'll run into problems. Not worth the risk.

 

Best would be to use water blocks, or wait for the Hybrid models to launch.

do you think two open air's would be better, since there isn't much space between the two cards?

Depends on the space between them. Top card will not get as much air, blower coolers can be run right up against each other and not cause a problem. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.
