Complete novice help appreciated.

I've been looking to get a gaming PC but I really have no idea where i should start.

I will be using it on my 4k 120hz samsung tv (at the start) so I'd like it to be able to handle 4k gaming and as many fps as possible. I will be using it exclusively for gaming.

I also wouldn't be someone who wants to upgrade regularly so I'd be looking for something that will last a long time.

Budget is anywhere between 2k - 3k cheaper the better obviously.
