I plan to make HPC cluster using Condor as middle-ware. Is CentOS a good choice to be the OS I mean does it support condor and is there any tutorial which could be helpful in installation process?

Yes – indeed, condor is even distributed as RPMs for RHEL4, 5, and 6 (which is to say, CentOS 4/5/6, as CentOS is just a rebadged RHEL). So I guess it would be more fair to say that Condor supports CentOS than vice versa.
A lot of people use RHEL/CentOS for HPC applications; I’m not a big fan myself, as an HPC compute node is not the same as a print server or web server, and having very out of date libraries and compilers can be a PITA. But the issue isn’t as bad (now) for CentOS 6 as it was for CentOS 5.
