Thanks in advance, great explained guide!

most official OTA updates from a carrier patch the current files found in /system rather than replacing all of them entirely(at least in many cases)... because of this.. the OTA update will check each and every stock system file to make sure it has been unmodified. If you modify any of the stock files this would cause the OTA to most likely fail.

What you could do is make backups of the files you do choose to update.. then you can restore the backups when it's time to OTA update. Also, you can add modded files that are not part of /system and this will not mess with the OTA. The OTA only cares about the original system files... not new files you have added(that have not altered the original system files themselves).

tl;dr
you can root and still accept OTA updates as long as no original /system files have been altered and you still have stock recovery(you didnt install twrp/cwm).
