For drive, go to iFixit or any other DIY computer repair site, they sell the drives and have instructions on how to replace it. You just need to know year of your MacBook. See YouTube for videos too.
For DRAM, use the MacBook and go to crucial.com, download the system scanner, it determines appropriate DRAM and they have good prices too (it is part of Micron).
Taking apart MacBooks is not hard. Small screwdriver or Torx driver, a small knife blade for gently prying, anti-static procedure, patience. Helps to have the procedure all printed out or displayed on a neighboring computer.
Could become your man cave Mac.

How do I determine the correct drive to buy, max DRAM and what I have now?

I replaced the DVD drive in my wife's MacBook. Took about 1/2 hour. Go to iFixit. The drive will cost < $100. While you're at it, max out the DRAM (Crucial.com, etc). Then you have a spare/extra Mac, which is handy.
