I suspect that you will have great problems getting your Intel board running. Socket 775 is quite old. If you are going to try then try with Snow Leopard first.

Your assertion that power supply does not matter is wrong. It is the most critical part of a build, cheap unbranded PSUs are normally the cause of system freezes, random shutdowns and all sorts of problems - the reason they don't supply the regulated voltage/wattage required to the components. Use a big name PSU, they have a reputation to uphold. Cheap ones sell because they are cheap, not because they are good.

I have exactly the same motherboard (DQ35JOE) and it works fine with OS X Lion (10.7.5) and Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on it - I have had random rebooting from having CPU Kernel Panic issues when I upgraded to Mavericks on that particular motherboard - luckily for me its my "spare" tower so running mountain lion on it is fine for what I use it for.
