So I had this idea come to me last night when I was freezing during gaming. I had this idea of somehow connecting my computer To the exterior of my house and have the cold air flow into my computer case and out the front. Since the outside temperature is around freezing I figured this would be a good way to cool my system. Any suggestions?

That temp is fine but like I said before you can always go with a aftermarket air or closed loop cooler to get better temps. Its just not worth the risk of damaging your computer by trying to get it colder by using outside temps.
What are your temps normally without opening a window? If your temps are fine then I wouldn't risk frying your system from the condensation that you can get from freezing temps to room temp. If the system does run warm and you have a screen on the window I would just leave the system near the window (just enough to cycle the cold/warm air) and maybe keep the window not all the way open to avoid snow/rain/sleet for obvious reasons lol. Another option if your cpu cooler is stock or air then maybe switching to a cloosed loop cooler to bring your temps down.
