I plan to build a computer on my own and would love for guidance and advice

Hi everybody,
My question is not very much about Linux specifically but more about hardware,
Although I do want to use this hardware to run Linux only,
The thing is, I want to buy a new good quality computer,
And I realized that if I didn't buy a built computer but choose and buy the different parts myself, I could get a lot better value for my money,
The problem is, I've never built a computerand I have no idea how and what should I do,
So I would love to have you put here links to everything I need to know before I buy the different parts, what parts I need, where to find everything in a relatively convenient way,
And anything you think I should know,
(i also need to know in what to invest what persenteg of my money,
like more RAM or a better procesor or the amount of cores the procesor hase etc etc)
I have a budget of about $ 1000,
I need to be able to send everything to Israel,
I'm designing this computer to be used for my job as a programmer
(i program and i move a lot),
I'm not looking for a particularly good graphics processor,
Just to support reasonable level graphics (I'm not a gamer),
I want the computer I build to be very porteble and i want to connect it to different screens using an HDMI cable,
It is important to me that it'll be compact and light,
Not a big, bulky, heavy desktop computer,
For me a good computer is a computer that has at least:
16GB of RAM with opshions for expanding in the future,
512GB SSD,
intel i7 gen 8 procesor,
a few USB ports (both type C and "normal" to connect mouse usb sticks keyboard etc),
preferably 2 HDMI ports,
everything a normal laptop hase like a way to connect to the internet etc etc.
BTW if you have an idea you think i should know about before doing this then let me know (for example a friend told me i should get a good desktop pc and a cheap laptop and connect from the laptop to the desktop pc to run havy culculations, this way i have a machine which is strong to do the hard work, and i only need to cary around the laptop (because basicly what i need is agood machine which is also porteble)).
