( if there is one can anyone direct me to it as i fail to find it, i've see only mostly blogs and stuff )
thanks in advance

Have a look into the printing handbook. It can be found on the same page as the drivers: http://www.prusa3d.com/drivers/

At first only print small objects. Start with print the objects on the SD card.
All the mistakes that can break any 3D printer mostly happen when you start printing larger objects.

all the final prints are through SD card ? there's no direct link is there? also what's the max file size or poly-count, i work with 3d models alot some files can be quite large.

You can print via direct link. BUT: If something little goes wrong with the connection your print will be lost! Printing from SD-card is less points of failure and by the end more reliable. Think about a 15h print which will be lost after 95% are done due to a wiggling on a USB connector... 😮

That depends on your slicing software. But just think about it: If your level of detail in the model is 10 times higher than the level of detail you can print, it doesn't make sense by the end. The higher the level of detail and the bigger the model is the longer the print duration will be. A good example is this one:
With the newest Slic3r version you can use thevariable layer hight. This might help to cut down printing time if you have some detailed and less detailed parts.
