Don't do that. You'll spend much of your time tinkering with HW/sw instead of doing what you care for. I recently upgraded to Claude Max ($100 version). It's not cheap, but it would pay for itself. On top of that this local setup that is recommended here will be slower, dumber and would cost you right away many hundreds of bucks. And models and tools are improving quickly. I don't want to imagine how much time you would spend upgrading these local models yourself. If you just run Claude, it is taken care of, Claude Code is the best agentic tool there is and is improving every few weeks.
