My concerns are if this build will work?


Additionally, I am interested in finding a guide to install snow leopard on a "generic" system. What do I need to do it? What are the steps... ect.

Should work, since there is also a DSDT for your Mobo in the database.
Just install following http://tonymacx86.blogspot.de/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html.
After that, you can decide whether you want to buy Lion and install that using a Freshly created UniBeast Stick (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.de/2011/10/unibeast-install-mac-os-x-lion-using.html) or upgrade using xMove (http://tonymacx86.blogspot.de/2011/07/xmove-multibeast-install-os-x-107-lion.html)

Hope this helps you... (all tutorials are proven in use )

Just install following http://tonymacx86.blogspot.de/2010/04/i ... -x-on.html.

^ When you say install this. Do you mean burn this to a disc and then insert it when it asks me if I want to boot from my cd rom (or flash drive)?

Does this mean I only need a Snow Leopard CD key?

-EDIT_


AH NVM... I SEE... THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL!!

I would like to get a ATI card, but I don't want the massive Gigabyte 6870 card... Is there another card that is compatible with snow leopard?

I assume you are not planning to upgrade to 10.7.3
A friend of mine has a gigabyte 5770 with works excellent on his 10.6.8 build.
Don't know if you can still find them (perhaps you can check the links over here: http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-4902415-10446076?url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102873).
Also you can try Craigslist or eBay, depending on your location.
