Background
Hi guys; this my second build my first build was built for my father as he wanted a strong machine for his work it was an ivy bridge i5 3570k, z77x-ud5h, 16gb ram and gtx 760 4gb. So this is second build is mine i am really into filmaking and post production, i am even learning 3d animation and modeling. I am on budget right now so i needed a computer that would to finish things more quickly to be strong and stable so i nested most of my money in the CPU till now but later on i will be adding maybe gtx 760 4gb or a gtx 770 4gb and also another 8gb of ram but right now i am good with the intel HD 4600 graphics.
Installation Notes
Before we begin for the new Haswell Refresh CPUS codenamed “Devil’s Canyon” mixed with the 8 series motherboards you must update your bios first in order for the motherboard to accept it. I will setting up a Raid 0 with the two SSD so i will be installing the os and the kexts and everything on separate
hdd and then cloning in it into the raid.
so first i installed mavericks 10.9 by following the Tonymacx86 guide right here

for MultiBeast settings I used the latest version 6.3 for installing everything except for the sound as there is a problem with ALC 892 in both versions the 6.2 and 6.3 when you put the machine into sleep and then wake it up it stops working so I used version 6.1 for the sound and bam sound is working like a charm
for Setting up the Raid 0 Array i used this two guides
