If your processor is pre-Hawell model, either IvyBridge or SandyBridge (4*** series will require Clover - with a fake CPUID) then you can use the above guide in addition to this one that is linked to in the above guide..

Before You Begin

1. Register here at tonymacx86! If you don't have a user account, create one!
2. Get our latest MultiBeast and UniBeast tools from the downloads section.
3. Purchase a 8GB or larger USB drive.
4. Do a full backup of your system

The following guide is meant as a fresh installation method. To perform an update from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite, saving system settings, data, and apps follow this guide.

would i need additional kexts for my gpu?

No - it would still use GraphicsEnabler=Yes. You will need to use this as a boot flag for the USB installer.

I always perform a fresh installation and will use a time machine backup to reinstall data/settings etc to a new version of OS X. Either way back up important data to prevent accidental loss.
 
Thank you guys for a quick reply! I will take this on board, many thanks!
 
I've just found out that the processor is in actual fact a Pentium g630. Will this still work?
