So I'm selling my 4790k Hackintosh to my company for cheap and using the money to build myself a new machine for home. I figured I would try out this whole X99 Haswell business as I do a lot of heavy rendering of video/animation/3d and figured the extra cores/ram could be put to good use.
Does this setup make sense? I figured I'd start small with the processor and work my way up as the 5820k seems to best the 4790k in rendering situations and it isn't mega expensive.
I'll be doing a clover Install if I can figure it out. Am I to understand that you can now skip the kernel patch and VoodooTSCsync with ElCap?
Thoughts? compatibility issues? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also, I already have the power supply and the graphics card, so that explains my choices there.
