I used to spend a lot of time reading about PC hardware as an entertainment and to be honest undersdanding how these things work or what the specs mean won’t help that much figuring out what you need.
I’d be more pragmatic and look at the recomended requirements of some of the programs you might want to use, and do some extra research for those with the highest requirements as the oficial requirements may not be that useful either, look for recommendations from people using those programs for example
Another useful resource is to look for hardware benchmarks based on real world programs preferably, there are a lot of benchmarks using popular video and photo editing sofwtare that can be a good reference.
