Hi everyone!

First time Hackintosher here and I am having some troubles with post install. I would appreciate any help or advice you may have! The issue I am running into regards getting my system to use the GTX 970 graphics instead of the integrated Intel graphics. I got the system to run almost flawlessly with the Intel graphics but I would like to use my build to its full potential and use the GPU for graphics. Right now, the GPU only works when I use the boot tag "nv_disable=1" and even with the GPU being recognized and used, performance is still extremely slow/choppy and pales in comparison to the performance with the Intel graphics. When I try to boot without "nv_disable=1", the system starts fine but the display shuts off about 30 seconds into boot up. I've posted my build specs below, and a few screenshot that may provide helpful information in solving this issue.

Thanks in advanced for your help!
