[Clueless Guy wants some advice!] Any recommendations?

Good evening fellow people and person reading,

I'm just another guy wanting to buy a Gaming PC for all my gaming needs. Essentially these are the things I'm wanting to cover:

1) Streaming - I've been playing games on a Mac (RIP) for 8 years now and the fact I can't even get 60 fps on Minecraft is consistently disappointing. I wanna start gaming on a PC and experience what 60 fps and above tastes like, so why not stream it!

2) Modded Minecraft - I just wanna play Botania and heavy modpacks and have a grand ol' time. Possibly even stream these too.

3) Future Proofing - I'm so aware that with the PC gaming community there's a constant whiff of air suggesting people to upgrade their machines more often than they probably should for that extra bit of FPS or gameplay. I just wanna buy a Pre-Built PC that runs effectively for a long while to come without the need to upgrade components.

4) Productivity - I also sing and make video content quite often so run editing software frequently. I would love a PC that can handle both Gaming and Productivity (though my Mac is the 2021 version so in terms of editing I would be able to do it on this, the PC would be for gaming first).

5) Accessories - Something that can utilise Mic's, WebCam's and other pieces of hardware with it.

After this, I don't really have many preferences. Some RGB vibes could be cool but I'm not really gonna be paying too much attention to the tower itself. My budget is quite flexible though I'd prefer to go on the cheaper end of the spectrum if I can, below £2000 would definitely be the goal, but any cost reductions would be MUCH appreciated. Though I'd be more than happy with just a build shown to me, I would also love someone to explain why those parts specifically cause I feel like learning about it is just as important as actually getting the equipment in the first place.

Any responses to this are much appreciated, though if you wanna reach-out another way my discord is below!

Howdy!

So I don't have any peripherals atm including Monitors and I've talked about the desired uses for the PC and the budget I have for it, what else would help you and others to help me?

so the £2K includes monitors etc or have you a separate budget for that
Great point, if possible I'd love the monitors to come within that £2k budget. One's that run the appropriate Hz for 1440p if possible (if that's even the right way to say it?)!
