Here is a quick summery of the video for quick reference.
Gear Piece 1. The computer and DAW
You don't need a beast of a machine to record music!

When buying a computer for music creation you want to prioritize things in this order. CPU, RAM, type of storage and lastly graphics card. Graphics cards are great for gaming, USB2 is fine for most cases. You can upgrade in the order I just mentioned. CPU first then Ram then Storage.

Next thing you are going to need is a program to record and edit your music in. That is called a DAW, or digital audio workstation.
Which DAW you choose is not really important. They all basically do the same thing, it really comes down to which one best suits your workflow.

Gear Piece 2. The Headphones
You're looking for studio style headphones with a flat-ish response. All that means is that the Bass isn’t boosted and you can hear the full spectrum of sound.
If you can make a track shine in studio headphones they will likely sound great on other sources too.

Gear Piece 3. Midi Controller
It’s basically a music keyboard that plugs in via USB. It doesn’t make sound on its own, you use it to play VSTi’s.
Small keyboards are really great! The less space they take up the better in my book. Gear Piece

4. Audio Interface
This is how you get your sounds, made outside the computer, inside the computer. through the magic of cables. Have a look at focusrite stuff. They’re generally reliable. My studio uses a Motu Ultralite AVB.

Gear Piece 5. Mics
You can't go wrong with an SM58. It's a high quality, yet cheap and reliable general purpose work horse.

My go to mic stands are from Hercules Stands and have a boom clamp and mic clip.

Pop filters are all the same really. Just something between you and the mic that stops plosives (aggressive mouth air) from hitting the mic.

Gear Piece 6. Studio Monitors
You don’t buy these for how loud they go, you buy them because of how clear they sound. You're mostly using these as a mix reference.

Gear Piece 7. Acoustic treatment.
Check the gear guide in the bundle to see if you really need any Acoustic Treatment.
Just having stuff in your room is already a good start, it helps the sound bounce in random directions. But a carpet and DIY insulation panels go a long way.
