a normal TV won't cut it, you need a monitor. Check your particular model and check if it's a monitor, TV, or monitor/TV hybrid.

As for how to build it: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-your-own-pc,2601.html
There are also plenty of other build guides on YouTube, so you actually see what the builder is doing.

Also, most CPU's come with a stock cooler/heatsink. But with intel (and AMD alike), they usually aren't that good, so I would buy something like a cooler master 212 evo.

You need to buy the OS (windows 10), and install it via USB or via a DVD drive.

As for a PSU, I would buy a 550w/650w 80+ bronze or higher. Generally, the best brands are Corsair, Cooler master, EVGA, Be quiet!, and Seasonic.

Also, I reccomend you would get a SSD (120gb or 240/250/275gb) and install only windows on it. This will lower your boot time from about 2.5 min. to 50 sec. It also reduces loading times in video games.

Another question.... Can I transfer my os from a pc to another?? So it will be easier and no more paying

You will be able to use it but not validated.
