I suggest doing a retail install using the EMPIRE EFI CD which has AMD support now, or using SnowOSX Universal for AMD 3.6.
Read this about EmpireEFI-------------->pra sys.co.cc/2010/01/empire-efi-v-1-085-is-out/#more-2411
I have the same motherboard, I haven't finished enough to power up yet but this SHOULD work. I would do more research on the video card and such, the chipset may need an extra .kext injected into the prepatched DVD I mentioned earlier.
I would recommend an ATI Graphics card.
