First time building a computer

Hey so I'm wanting to get a build to mainly stream and play minecraft but also possibly other games like fortnite and sea of thieves. I also want to be able to edit on premiere pro on there, nothing to crazy just to edit highlights and make youtube videos. I want it to be able to run games like fortnite at pretty decent graphics and still be able to stream at the same time. I also don't know whether to invest into a better graphics card and processor incase I want to play other games but I think I'd be mostly playing minecraft.

I'd like to aim to have a budget of less than £800 but I just want to make sure I'm getting a build that can do all the things I need it to.

I'm completely new to computers and watching lots of videos has just got me confused on which parts to get and lots of parts seem to be out of stock so I I'm unsure if I should be waiting for restocks.

Any suggestions and advice is really appreciated!

Sorry to say, but with that budget, you cannot realistically do all of those tasks. Your best bet now would be to save up for a bigger budget if you want your computer to be able to do everything smoothly and not run out of steam in 1-2 years. Also the specification will depend largely on the monitor you plan to use.

Thanks for the quick reply. What sort of budget would I need. I could mirror my xbox to my computer to play games like fortnite and sea of theives whilst streaming. Just streaming minecraft is the main purpose.

Realistically, this would be the lowest you'd want for streaming....and it doesn't include a graphics card as no clue what monitor you are pairing it with. If I assumed you had a 1080p 144Hz monitor and wnated to play at that refresh rate, then you'd be looking at around the £1100 mark (an NVIDIA 1660 Super or AMD RX5600XT):
