CPU thermal paste
This depend on what you want to use your pc for. Plain use or Mass processing use (OCing)?
I have used Arctic Silver 5 many times which has not showed disappointing result.
GPU
GTX 1060 6 GB or GTX 1660 TI 6 GB or AMD Radeon RX 480 is quite popular, but if you really want flawless image rendering gaming experience, then you might need to step up a notch.
Motherboard
This depends on the choice of your CPU and what you want to use your pc for. For new build you don't need to invest too much money on motherboard, unless you are a pc geek.
RAM
16 - 32 GB is recommended, if you are planning to stream
Disks
500 GB - 1 TB for Windows drive
2 TB above for mass storage and/or games storage
PSU
This has variety of choices. I always like to plan ahead of "upgrading". So anything above 850 W is recommended.
For simple purpose, 600 - 750 W should be good.
Chassis
User's choice, RAZER tomahawk ATX size
Webcam
RAZER kiyo or kiyo Pro
Keyboard and Mouse
RAZER have great choices
