Look at one of the toms recommended builds. Buy your parts online, watch a youtube video on how to put together a pc. If you already understand the software side of it (you mentioned you don't need an os) thats the hardest part, the hardware part is easy. Its like legos. Everything has a place. You can't put something in the wrong spot, you can only not hook something up.
