Additional Comments: California as many of you know is a semi-arid state, and it tends to get pretty hot here. (Last few years we reached 109 Fahrenheit, and my room doesn't have the best air conditioning and reaches 3-4 more degrees. Therefore I believe that cooling will be something important to address. I'm not sure if this contradicts the following statement or not, but it would be ideal the quieter the better.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I'm upgrading because I plan to give my father my old computer, plus it's time to upgrade.
So far I've just started to look into the build in depth, and have come up with a rough basic sketch of the essentials I'll need. It will be a work in progress to build my computer to the point that I want to have it at.
