I have a setup very,very similar to this, and I got Ubuntu 14.04.4 working on it. It's okay; I had problems getting wifi up and running and now I'm having problems with the wifi cutting out every so often (multiple times a day). I got it to install just fine by disabling secure boot and fast boot and by disabling UEFI and booting with legacy support. You can see all that here.
Also, once I got it installed I was having graphics card issues with the Nvidia card, so I just switched to the internal card in BIOS and it was fine after that. I don't care about using the Nvidia card, though.
Hope this helps.
