Updated uploaded zip to reflect the new changes, everything not included is linked.
Made some edits to the original post to tidy up a bit.
Removed some more bloat, will remove more and drastically change this post later, see the sierra section as the files there should work for Yosemite as well, but I will upload a new package for Yosemite when I update this post.
I am attaching my Backup folder with all the information and files needed to achieve this, I am sure everyone has moved on to newer boards, but this setup is working 100% and is a solid build for cheap.
Clover Configurator Vibrant and Kext Utility won't be included as well as Clover since they may be updated and work better.
Some credit is due here and some at InsanelyMac, too many to find again... Thank you though.
This file also includes the original 10.10.5 AppleHDA.kext, I backed it up in case changes were made and I needed it.
Whats working:
Almost everything
Whats not:
Sleep
When testing sleep my computer does go to sleep, then it enters a loop of trying to power on and then sleep.
This also plays havoc with the bios and it needs to reset itself after I hold the power button down during a power on phase of the loop, I also found the Qpi/Vtt voltage mysteriously set itself to 1.71v (this is very bad).
Sleep will be a no go until I can get someone to look at the origin and patched DSDT and see if there is a solution there to fix this issue.

Edited patched DSDT from TonyMacx86 DSDT database with i7-860 SpeedStep edits (Thanks TonyMacx86)
Fixed Wifi with Clover patches, rename and enable 5Ghz
(You may have to create a 5Ghz network, connect to it and let Airport "find" your network, disconnect and then connect to the one you want.)
If I think of anything else I will post it as a edit.
Now for the really fun stuff...
Patches:
Speedstep included in DSDT

Following the guide here on TonyMacx86, iMessages is working and I have handoff working with the GMYLE adapter following this information here:

Update:
HDMI audio is now working, DisplayPort not tested on the GTX 660, Thanks be to Toldea again!

From the post I read this should work with Sierra as well, Adding used command file to attached files.
Wifi patching can be found here.

I have found that I only need the 5Ghz patch in Yosemite, but you will definitely need FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext from RehabMan to only need the one patch.
https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fake-pci-id/downloads/
If you are not in the US, you may need to change the country code to relfect your current country code.
From the 5Ghz patch, highlighted is the country code 55 53 (US) it is in hex, if you need to change this Google ascii to hex and it should display a conversion box, enter your current country code and replace the current set exactly as these are presented.

Due to issues with the Asus adapter on Sierra I changed to an official Apple wireless card and modified an adapter for and Apple BCM4360CD, I could have spent the same amount on a card suited for the card though at the time of ordering none were available.

This should work fine with Yosemite since the card was released around the same time, the ASUS PCE-AC66 worked great with the patches listed, however it did not work with El Capitan using those patches (I have read copying the Yosemite kext worked fine) and Sierra nothing I did fixed the issues... copying the Yosemite kext works fine for a short time and then kernel panics start to happen and corrupts the kext cache.
When I finish getting Sierra running properly, I will make a final revision to the support package, delete the old packages and upload a final version for Yosemite and Sierra respectively.
