    If you have access to a welder and some basic metalworking tools, I would use aluminum square tubing. Maybe 1.5" x 1.5" x .0625" wall, or something similar.
     
    If metal's not your thing, you could build a frame from dimensional lumber, like this:
     

     
    It's not the most stable design, but could be build with about 4 tools in a few evenings.

    Most mATX boards that aren't super cheap support 4 RAM slots so this should be fine.
     
    Don't get the GPU if you don't need it, but unless your PSU is a great model an upgrade would be fine. This one has a 5-year warranty.
