If you buy a pc from digitalstorm with a 1000 or 1200 watt power, how long will a customized pc last if you leave it on for days or months.  Will the pc burn out on the motherboard or the power supply or the memory.

Haha yeah bro you don't need to worry about that. As long as you buy a quality PSU you can leave it on for weeks (not that it's a great idea for your energy bill).

leaving your PC on will not burn-out anything.

I have PCs from 2002 that are running tight and never get turned off.
