Download macOS Sierra (quit the App, compress it and back it up)
Download and run UniBeast to your computer specs, i.e graphics.
When UniBeast completes, restart pressing F12 - select your UEFI UniBeast drive.
At the Clover boot screen select your Yosemite drive and test booting it.
You've installed the web drivers for your 750 but the UniBeast default is nv_disable=1 so you won't have accelerated graphics unless you change the boot argument to nvda_drv=1
If you are able to boot consistently, you can begin to remove old files/kexts.
When you're happy boot your Yosemite drive with UniBeast and run the Install.app in /Applications.
When it reboots select Install macOS from your Yosemite drive.

what do you mean by compress and back it up?

also, im dual booting windows. will this affect anything? they are on seperate drives and i have a hdd for media storage.
is it possible to backup/image the hackintosh drive from inside windows?

Save it so you don't have to download it again, some peoples internet can take quite some time to download 5GB. Its also good practice as once the install.app has been run, it will evaporate from /Applications.

Unplug your Windows drive and storage drive until you've installed. Since you will be mounting EFI partitions this will remove any chance of error.
There are cross platform readers but google is friend here. Ideally you will want to make a bootable clone of your Yosemite drive. Backup Solutions For Your Mac or CustoMac | tonymacx86.com

No idea, I've never cloned or imaged a Mac drive from Windows, simply as
1. Windows can't see a Mac partitioned drive.
2. A cross platform reader will be needed for Windows to see and read a Mac partitioned drive.
3. There are many more reasons when tools are readily available in OS X/macOS to do such a thing.

alright. so:
1. download sierra and compress? (how do i do this?)
2. image drive to external hdd in yosemite?
3. make a unibeast drive
4. unplug windows and storage drive
5. put unibeast drive in and boot using that
6. if it works delete kexts from yosemite (still using unibeast drive? or not)
7. boot using unibeast drive to yosemite and install sierra
8. run multibeast?
9. done? clover installed automatically?
is this right?

I think you should be good to go. 10mins to download and you need 2 hours to complete :p
Best to take your time even if it takes 3 hours or more.
