Hi Guys just wanted to share with you my Mavericks Install worked perfectly for me and here is how
I'm running a i5 3570k intel Ivy bridge processor
8GB ram
EVGA GTX660 2GB NVidia Graphics card
seagate 1Tb 7200rpm
GA-z68XP-UD3-iSSD
I am using HDMI to DVI for my monitor I have heard that VGA WILL NOT WORK but i have not tried it would highly recommend using DVI/HDMI methods of connecting your monitor.
From working Mac purchase Mavericks from the App store and I followed the Unibeast Method
http://www.tonymacx86.com/374-unibeast-install-os-x-mavericks-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
I found using -x -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes (in the new unibeast is GraphicsEnabler=No is default in the newer unibeast and on the z68 gigabyte mother boards it needs to be yes) worked best for me
No need for any enablers just select the unibeast from boot up with the GTX 660 EVGA edition graphics card it works out of the box!
Be prepare to wait it will hang for a very long time at the last part before loading into the installer and when the screen goes grey/white it will hang for another minute or two!
since updating my motherboards UEFI to the latest version and of course the GTX660 no hangs loading the installer works beautifully
Run through the install as normal (described in the unibeast method) using the unibeast to boot from UEFI and then selecting the hard drive after that to load Mavericks.
after first reboot again use option GraphicsEnabler=Yes
I used multi-beast with the attached options
when i rebooted i got the Boot0 Error so i rebooted again into the installed and followed the Tonymac official boot0 error guide.
Now i used my Mountain Lion unibeast as it loads faster than the Mavericks one, but you can use either, link is below and this should really only apply to 4k HDD's

You can then remove the Unibeast USB and boot normally.
After booting back up everything works (even sound) the only thing that doesn't work is iMessage but i have the fix for that too!

Download the attachment and copy into your mavericks/extras/modules folder reboot and then sign into iMessage as normal and your done.
this install was far easier than ML post your comments below let me know if this works for you too!
