just want to make sure everything is compatible before i pull out the plastic card.

i plan on:

installing yosemite

overclocking this cpu from eufi

doing a push/pull water cool with both fans in the cpu and cpu_opt fan

using 2 case fans with the mobo and the other 3 with the case fan controller

dual booting Yosemite and windows 8 on separate ssd's and having each os get a 500 gb partian of the hdd

using a geforce gtx 970 card

using an optical drive

playing audio though the speakers in the monitor

using a pcie x1 wifi adapter.

is everything compatible and are there any drivers, kext, etc ill have to install

thx for your time
