GTX 570 Please Help With Editing Build!

Hello everyone! I am a filmmaker and use my computer's power primarily to edit films. I currently have a custom PC I built a while ago and it is running Windows 10. Yet I really want to switch to Mac OSX as I plan on using Final Cut Pro X. Would it be possible to wipe my hard drives and load OSX El Capitan on the build I already have? The specs are down below, thanks!! :D

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7 3770K

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H

Graphics: Nvidia EVGA GTX 570 (plan on getting a 980 for 4k editing in the future)

Hard drives: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 128 gb (system) and WD black HDD 1TB (storage)

Power: Rosewill 750 W power
 
If you are asking if it is possible to install OS X on this hardware, the answer is yes. You can do so. I would suggest, since you no doubt installed Win7 in Legacy mode, that you purchase a second SSD for OS X, connect it, disconnect all other drives and only then attempt installing OS X. Since the version OS X you will wind up with will be El Capitan, you will have to use Clover boot loader and to minimize impact on your already installed Win7, you will want to install Clover Legacy mode to your OS X SSD.
