I need everyone's advice and input, as I am just guessing, I may be totally wrong, please correct anything I type here:
You may want to use static wrist straps when touching and installing parts.
First use a full size tower cabinet case (it can be an old XP Windows Desktop metal frame tower). It doesn't need to look pretty, unless you have added money to buy a high priced glitzy tower.
1) Buy, and swap in a Power Supply (@ $80) that is much greater than the low end LiteOff® built-in 300Watt built in Power Supply.
2) Buy and install a motherboard, and install a CPU that has a high GHz speed (3.4 or greater).
3) Buy and install a high priced video card (a GTX980 can cost @ $550).
4) Install added fans so that they blow directly on the video card, as well as a separate one that blows directly on the CPU heat sink.
5) Use Arctic Silver thermal heat sink paste (it is electronically conductive) so don't slop it on, oozing out the chip sides.
5a) Or buy and install a water cooled CPU system.
6) Buy and install a 1-2TB hard drive, or an SSD hard drive.
7) Install RAM chips much greater than 4GB
8) Hook up all the wiring
9) Take it to a computer repair shop, or a knowledgeable friend, to check out all the wiring and hardware installation.
10) Install a Windows OS (higher than Vista).
11) Now that it has been checked out by a professional, fire it up, and hope that it doesn't explode.
12) Operate just normal general PC computing tasks for a couple weeks, until the thermal heat sink paste sets, and bakes in slowly over time.
13) Operate your PC in an air conditioned room, near the cold air conditioner blower vents.
Someday I'm actually gonna do this, but I had a hard enough time changing my Windows7 start up screen .jpg in my oob folder
