Your answer is pretty simple.
There are two points to make here.
If by pressing the key on your keyboard to enter the bios it is simply ignored, and a normal boot process continues to load the OS.
Then you have an initial setting in the bios to do with the usb ports of the computer if you are using a usb keyboard.
The option of detect legacy Usb devices must be enabled in some cases as a default setting. so when using a Usb keyboard the key is registers to enter the bios.
The way around this if the mobo has a Ps2 style keyboard port is to use that one with a connector that converts a Usb to a Ps2 connector. you will then be able to enter the bios with the same key of the keyboard and should enter the bios without a problem. if so make sure you change the settings in the bios to detect legacy usb devices to enabled, svae the settings in the bios before exit and it will work from then on when connected via Usb.
Thank you for the detailed descriptions and instructions, unfortunately my mobo is only equipped with USB in lieu of the Ps2.
You next thing to look out for is, when you press a key if you are just met with a blinking white command line. or the screen goes black with no flashing cursor or a solid blue screen appears.
This means that if you have on board video output on the motherboard, as well as the 6700 series Pci card. enabled . that you are running two graphics chip sets. said:

I have none of the conditions of what you have listed above for the screen during reboot.
During reboot, my monitor is showing that it does not get a signal until about 3-5 seconds after my computer has already started to restart, by that time the Windows 8 welcome screen is loaded.
By default, if the case the Video output signal for video display of the bios menu is displayed via the on board graphics out put of the motherboard so you nee to swap the monitor cable to thoes ports to see the bios out put displayed.

I have done that as well, forgot to list that, but there was no signal coming from the integrated graphics card. I even rebooted 3 times and still nothing.
Once you get to that stage, Change the default graphics adapter to be initialized first in the bios to Pci-e in the order list, and if you can disable on board GPU Igp setting relating to Amd or Intel based chips that have incorparated Gpus and Cpu`s in one die package.
Save the settings before exiting the bios.
Swap the cable back to the 6700 series card, and every time you press the key to enter the bios the bios screen will be presented through the 6700 series video output.
If you follow this as it`s written you will get it work properly.
