Dual boot my current desktop? asrock xtreme3 gen3 + i5-2500k

Hi I was wondering if I could try dual booting my current desktop so I don't have to buy a new hackintosh. 

Lots of questions, like will changing the dsdt file affect my windows install? Has anyone got dual boot working? I guess I'll have two bios settings saved one for windows, one for osx.

Asrock extreme3 gen3
i5-2500k @ 4.4ghz
asus strix 970gtx
8gb (2x4gb) gskill
120gb crucial m4 ssd
250gb samsung 840 evo
1tb seagate wd black

I'd be partitioning 60gb off the samsung 840 evo for the yosemite install.

So far haven't gotten virtualbox or vmware working with yosemite so I'm heading in this direction. Also trying a cloud mac service but the lag + lack of install is bad.

I looked at the specs for that motherboard and it looks fine by me. Your Realtek gigabit ethernet model is supported through RTL81xx.kext, GTX 970 is supported by NVIDIA's Yosemite Web Drivers, ALC892 will work fine on VoodooHDA but if you want to go the patched AppleHDA route I'm sure you could. Go make that install media as this will probably work out just fine. :)
