    I still plan on overclocking the CPU to hopefully 4.6-4.8 GHz and potentially the GPU.

    Than why not use Yosemite for your primary OS and install a window virtual machine inside OS X?

    Not much, a little easier to setup. And you wont have to turn off your computer every time you wanted to switch operating systems.

    Its redundant to run 3 OSs on the same drive. All you need is Windows and Linux, if you really need to use Yosemite, run it within a VM in Windows. What are you storing data on?

    Pretty Ugly, not a very attractive build, but those computer monitors you have turned on the side. Do you like that? because I thought about buying a monitor with that ability but wasn't sure if there was a point.
