I have very recently bought a new computer. I have used iMacs and Mac Minis all my life, but I needed an upgrade. So I decided I wanted to build a Hackintosh. I am a fairly experienced computer user and professional Google searcher, but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem.
Before we start, here are the specs of the computer that you need to know in order to know the system. They are all a part of the compatible buyers guide on tonymacx86:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z97X 1150 socket
CPU: i5 4690K
GPU: EVGA 970 ACX 2.0
So I have successfully installed Windows 8.1 on my SSD as well as Mac OS X 10.10.3 on my HDD. What I had to do in order to install OS X was to use -x as a boot argument, as well as nv_disable=1 and -no-zp. It all worked fine and dandy, I installed OS X and got some drivers for the motherboard and downloaded NVIDIA's web drivers for the GTX cards. For the drivers to work, I had to put in nvda_drv=1 as boot argument. But I could still not boot without having -x as a boot argument. This is a problem as most drivers like audio and the NVIDIA drivers aren't even getting loaded as they re not necessary for the system so run. When I don't have -x as boot argument, I get stuck here:

Note: The other boot arguments I have are kext-dev-mode=1, nvda_drv=1, -v, -no-zp and -f
So I know that this is NOT a problem with BluetoothHCIController, it has in fact something to do with the graphics. I've seen many posts and articles about this problem, But I haven't found a solution. Does anyone know a way? Are there are boot arguments I should/shouldn't use? Any help is appreciated.
