Hi, it's my first hacintosh build and my first installation.
My hac is functioning, but just barely.

The build is
CPU: Intel Core i7 6500k
GPU: GTX 1070 Gaming G1
MB: MSI H170 Gaming G3
Wireless adapter: TP- Link AC1900

I think my only real problem is kexts and drivers. I'm really struggling to find the right configuration because I don't really know enough to be able to use the information correctly, I just need someone to tell me what to do.
At the moment, my internet is connecting but is unusably slow, and media won't play correctly (it's stuck at 0:00). I'm begging for help!!!
 
@GarethHowell, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.
The Rules said:
Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.
 
BUMP. Still really need help
 
What did you try to install with Multibeast? Provide some informations.
 
Drivers > Audio> Realtek ALCxxx > ALC1150
Drivers > Disk > Intel Generic AHCI SATA
Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC v6.21-311-g2958f55.1723
Drivers > uSB > Increase Max Port Limit
Bootloaders > Clover v2.3k r3766 UEFI Boot Mode
Customise > System Definitions > iMac . iMac 14,2

I know this is probably all wrong, I've had to cobble together lots of information with little understanding. My wifi connection works fine now at least, but I think the video drivers are failing, I get pretty severe banding across the screen when in use, and I still can't play any local media, it just gets stuck at 0:00
 
I think the video drivers are failing

BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection - DVI or HDMI - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
May need to update Clover
Install web drivers
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Config.plist - Disable SIP fully - CsrActiveConfig 0x67
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
May need to emulate native NVRAM - Problem 6
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
May need to install Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext to /Library/Extensions

Potential Problems :
HDMI 2.0 is not supported - Use HDMI 1.4
If your graphics card has more than one output of the type that you are using then try another one.
Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition
