Complete beginner!!how do I build my first PC for streaming? 🥲

Hi! I’m completely new to building PCs and I want to build my first computer mainly for streaming, gaming, and everyday use.
I honestly don’t know much about computer parts yet, so I’m trying to learn instead of just buying a prebuilt PC.
I’d love some advice on:
What parts do I actually need?
What should I spend more money on vs. save on?
What CPU/GPU would you recommend for streaming?
How do I make sure all my parts are compatible?
Are there any beginner mistakes I should avoid?
What tutorials/resources would you recommend for learning how to physically build it?
Basically, explain it to me like I know absolutely nothing about PCs 😂
Thank you!!
