MSI PE60 6QE (with upgrades) El Capitan Compatability Concerns

[too.limited]

Hello All,

I am brand new here and have some questions that I have not seen answered before in the forms yet. I have an xotic pc modified MSI PE60 6QE laptop that, unfortunately, cannot run several audio programs I use for performance on windows. As such, I wish to keep windows for gaming, as the laptop is capable, but also install OSX so that I can use it for music related applications. Essentially a dual-boot, selectable upon startup. I would very much appreciate any help in seeing if the parts in this laptop are capable, what marks to tick upon unibeat install, etc.. I am quite uncertain at this point. Anyhoo, all the parts I know are below:

MSI PE60 6QE (with upgrades)
OS: Windows 7 pro 64bit
CPU: 6th Generation Intel® Mobile Core i7-6700HQ Skylake Processor
Intel® HM87 Chipset
Mobo: ?
GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 960M (2.0GB) GDDR5 (Maxwell) w/ Optimus™ Technology
PCI-Express™ 16X
Microsoft® DirectX® 11
RAM:32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory
Storage:
1 x 256GB M.2 Solid State Drive (In M.2 slot 1) - currently used for windows 7 OS and wish to keep it that way, unless it would be better not to.
1 x 2TB Samsung 850 Evo SSD (Read 540MB/s - Write 520MB/s (SSD2 - SATA III)) (SKU - SSD088) (in 2.5" bay 1) - for data, figured I could create a 250GB (or less) partition for OSX on this, and have the rest be shared data for windows and osx IF that would work.
Networking:
Qualcomm Atheros 8161LAN
Intel® Dual Band AC 3165 802.11 A/AC/B/G/N 2.4/5.0GHz + Bluetooth 4.0 [M.2 Chip]
Display:
15.6" FHD (16:9) Anti-Glare Matte-Type Screen (1920x1080)
Optical Drive: 8x DVDRW/CDRW Super Multi Combo Drive
1 12.7mm (H) Optical Drive Bay, ATA Interface, Interchangeable with ±R/RW Combo drive

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also do not have access to a mac of my own. However, I do have friends with a mac, and am willing to buy an OS if need be.

Thank you!

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Skylake info in the FAQ. It is important.
