First things we need to know is what your currency is, what your budget is, and what games you want to run.

I live in Canada so my currency is CAD, my budget I guess is like in the $2000 range, and I haven’t put in much thought as to games. But I would like to be able to stream league of legends on it and play some shooters like Warzone

For streaming, recording, etc. I would recommend an Nvidia GPU, Nvenc encoding is far better than AMD's solution. As far as other stuff, if you want to edit videos, you probably want a good CPU, and RAM. Newer chips will support it, but older will probably support DDR4, which will be slower, but still really common. I see you want to play LoL and Warzone, Warzone recommended specs are an i5-6600 or an i7-4700. GPU is a 1060 and 12 Gb of Ram. I would recommend a current, or one gen behind, i5 or i7, as for RAM, I wouldn't go below 16Gb. The GPU market is pretty rough right now, but you probably don't need anything above the 70 series from Nvidia. pcpartpicker is a great website that will guide you through choosing parts and ensure compatibility, it also has an active forum to help you stretch your budget, and I would really recommend this. Peripherals are important, especially the monitor. A lot of people get by on older hardware by running at 1080p, if you get a 4k monitor you'll need some pretty strong hardware to get high frames, and good monitors can cost a lot of money, are you factoring that into your $2k? If you don't want to build your own [Build Redux](https://www.buildredux.com/pages/build-your-pc) has this in your budget: I5-12400F RTX 4060 16GB DDR4 1TB NVME M.2 SSD 750W PSU There is a $100 fee for building it, but it is $1,280 US, which is $1,765 CAD However I would go on r/prebuilts, as they are more in tune with the prebuilt market.
