Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

They released open source drivers. Anything is possible

The Gigabyte board would be better since it has SATA auxiliary power.  Not sure why MSI negated that from their Z77 line.

Just because there it can theoretically accept 8 GPU doesn't mean it actually will. 8 GPU limitation is the AMD driver limit, the motherboard could hit that limitation before that.
