Followed the installation guide to the letter, with the following MultiBeast settings.

Additional BIOS settings:
Set IGPU as primary graphics due to having a Radeon card. To access Clover bootloader to boot into Windows, I simply plug my monitor into the motherboard IGPU until booted into Windows, then plug back into GPU. More on the topic here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308025-no-graphics-usb-audio-after-wake/page-24
Wifi/Bluetooth Adapter:
Plug and play, works right out of the box. I originally tried the recommended IOGear bluetooth adapter and recommended TP-Link wifi card from the CustoMac builds. Wifi was perfect out of the box, but bluetooth constantly cut out and required attention. Not reliable enough for keyboard and mouse use, so I returned in and bought the much more expensive, but 100% reliable option from OSXwifi.com. I can't recommend it enough if you are using Apple peripherals.
MultiBeast Settings:
No Audio after waking from sleep:
Install CodecCommander.kext in S/L/E with KextBeast (kext attached to post). Details in this thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/174...ep-alc-892-el-capitan-clover.html#post1123489
USB 3.0:
Install FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_XHCI.kext to L/E with KextBeast (kexts attached to post). Thank you RehabMan!

Everything works!
I'm very happy and relieved, as this is my first Hackintosh build. Actually my first PC build. Learned a lot through this process, and found a new hobby to spend my money on
Optional nerdery:
I did an overclock after obsessive reading on the subject for about 2 months. It is a fun learning process, and I'm continuing to learn more. Very stable overclock at 4.7Ghz @ 1.32v. I made all adjustments in BIOS, and ran all tests in Windows 10 using Aida64 and monitoring voltages and temps with HWInfo. Works flawlessly in OS X so far with no stability issues or odd behaviors. Originally ran a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler on my CPU, but when I started overclocking it wasn't getting it done anymore, so I upgraded to the Corsair H110i and temps are much better.
