A TV would work as a monitor as long as the TV has HDMI/DVI ports on it.

So here's one without a monitor included:

Only problem dont know a thing about the insides of PCs just understand the terminology, can you pay for people to build them or is that too expensive?

You might as well build it yourself. It legitimately is like lego for adults, just that things only fit in in a specific way (which makes it easier). Plenty of comprehensive tutorials around on sites like YouTube. You'd save a lot of $$$ too and get much better performance, as well as learning how parts work and being able to troubleshoot any errors that may arise.

I can try and come up with a part list for you. Would you need everything from scratch? Including monitor/keyboard/mouse/operating system?

If its as easy as that I might look into it, I've often been good at learning new things.
It would be great if you could put all the parts as long as its a good balance on price, performance and time.
I don't have anything at all just a rubbish laptop and a tv.
Thanks

Everything that you need comes included, you'll just need some screwdrivers and maybe an allen key. An antistatic wristband/mat may help too if you're building first-time.
