Which model do you have? You can find the DSDT for E7240 here under E7240 bootpack.

Sure you can go the easy route with Niresh, but you won't know what was done on it. You might fail on an update later on and end up starting all over. So not why do it right the first time and knowing how to fix it if anything goes wrong.

You could skip step 6 and 14 if prefer, all files are in the bootpack link mentioned by Artur96 above.

The bootpack is just a collection of kexts and tools, it can be copied anywhere to the install partition on your boot USB.

You copy the patched config.plist to your OSX's EFI partition (you need to enable hidden partitions in the Disk Utility), which you can edit with TextEdit since it's only an XML file.

After doing that, use HVT to install the Clover Configurator and use it to generate a new smbios for your hackintosh.

First download the bootpack, then update it with the 10.10.3 updates replacing any of the old files. 
NullCPUPowermanagement.kext is not needed, you can delete the as Clover has that automatically patch
Bootpack is meant for Chameleon, to adjust it to Clover, do the following:
 
DSDT/SSDT goes to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched
The kexts in /Extensions goes to /EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10
The kexts in /Extensions/SLE needs to be installed to /System/Library/Extensions with a kext utility like kextwizard (do this step after you have installed to your HDD, not on the Installer.)
 
 
Your should learn about Clover and Chameleon and the differences between them and how they work differently, otherwise all these instructions would be hard to follow.

1) ?? Keyboard function for what?

2) In the BIOS, General->Boot Sequence, change Boot List Options from Legacy to UEFI. You must have your USB plugged in to continue with this step

Click Add Boot Option and enter in /EFI/Boot/Boot64x.efi, select it and move it to the top, apply and exit
