Hi all,

Just ordered a GTX 970 and a SSD card and i'd like to clarify a few things before I receive the new parts...

My setup is Asus Sabertooth Z77, i3570k and now i will add the GTX 970 SSC.

Currently, I have the Sabertooth and the i3570k running Mavericks, working flawless, however in this new build i will install Yosemite.

My questions are:

1- When installing this new build, am i going to use/keep my current DSDT?

2- Do I install Yosemite using the HD4000 and after everything is all set, download the NVIDIA alternate drivers and then physically install the GTX??? Or physically install the GTX and proceed with the Yosemite install?

3- On this build i will have the SSD and will keep the old HDDs, so enable TRIM and 3rd party SATA in Multibeast?

Maybe i'm overthinking, but i just want to double check the steps.


Thank you for any reply.
