I currently have an install of Windows 7 on my iMac(I'm in love with it, forever buying an iMac). I wanted to do a fresh install though and figured I would just go with Windows 8 dev preview. The only thing I use my windows partition for is gaming and thats IT. Do you guys think I'll run across any issues or will I be alright and it will play games like League of Legends, BF3 and MW2 fine without driver issues?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I would just run Windows 7. It is supported by bootcamp, and windows 8 is setup for touchscreen interfaces. Not to mention, if you are installing it for games, Windows 7 is the accepted platform for all the recent game releases. Why shoot yourself in the foot for Windows 8?
Metro can't be disabled in the dev preview, however there is supposed to be a switch in the final release.
As far as gaming goes, I wouldn't trust it. Essentially 8 is just a tarted up windows 7 at the moment so I am sure that you COULD play them, though due to lack of driver support (and remember this is a dev preview, so it is pre beta) the Win 7 drivers may only get you so far.
