It would be greatly appreciated if someone could let me know where to go from here if it is do able or what to do first.. anything.. I have read guides and am still kind of lost..

I higly recommend you to use 10.5.x Leopard.
Not only that it is easier to use it in a stable way, as the Voodoo Kernel allows you to stay without patching CPUIDs of your system - you'll also be able to use macvidia package to gain full resolution - graphic accerlation is not possible on that gfx chipset - but that might be recompensed by the fact, that your wireless card will work.
If you are looking for distro based setup method, I would recommend "iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 PPF5 Final Release" - through I am no fanboy of that way of installaton in general this is in my opinion the best one made so far.
