You have the image file but have not burned it yet?
Windows

ImgBurn (free):

OSX
You can burn using
Burn (free):
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
Remember to burn at a slow speed and verify the disk as burning at your max speed may cause problems during installation.
We will start with your specs. Here is a link to your motherboards spec sheet.
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...GA-MA790FX-DQ6
Chipset: AMD 790FX + SB600
Audio: ALC889A
Lan: Realtek 8111B
Graphics: ATI HD Radeon 3870 X2
You want to make sure you only choose options which you are sure will work. Choosing the wrong driver or multiple drivers from the same category can sometimes cause problems.
Personally I would choose the bare minimum and no graphics drivers (Not choosing graphics drivers will give you 1024X768 default graphics) and then fix each issue one at a time. You can avoid a lot of problems and also learn what needs to be fixed and why. This is however not really the point for this distro as they have done a wonderful job at including almost every fix you can think of. I have read about issues with 790FX chipsets but Ill let others chime in on this.
I would do this.
1. Get the disk burned
2. Try to boot the disk
3. Create a new Thread/Post under the "Questions Problem & Support" section. I would name it something like "Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830"
If you can get into the installer then that's an obstacle you will have overcome.
When booting the DVD you will be given the chance to add boot-options. It should countdown and allow you to press F8 to add these options.
Use the following option:
Verbose mode will display useful information instead of an apple logo. If you have problems booting the DVD then it should stop on a particular line and you can post that information on the forum.
4GB of memory
may cause system freezes. There are two fixes I am aware of. You don't necessarily need to worry about it right now but just be away of random freezes.
1. Using the boot-flag maxmem will force OSX to only use the amount of memory you assign in megabytes. For example to limit your memory to 2GB or 2048MB it would go like this.
Notice the -v boot-flag discussed in the previous paragraph? You can use multiple boot flags by adding a single space between them.
2. There are patched 64bit kexts that fix the problem. I am using one at it works like a charm.
Also give this Thread a read.
