That's not nearly detailed enough information. You should compare the disk controllers, motherboard chipsets, ethernet interfaces and other devices against the supported hardware lists in the Release Notes: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.5R/notes.html -- cross reference the driver information against the 3.5-RELEASE man pages, which often have more detailed information: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+3.5.1-RELEASE&format=html Although quite why you would want to install such an old and unmaintained release of FreeBSD on what is clearly quite a new machine, I don't know. You're a lot more likely to get good results if you install 4.9-RELEASE, or maybe 5.2.1-RELEASE if this isn't for a critical system.
