I think the OP is getting the kind of vague answers, his vague question deserves.

I doubt there are any videos about building up a bike from frame and components, if you look at it as a single job.

Building up a frame into a bike, is a series of discrete operations; installing a headset, bars and stem, installing a BB and cranks, installing derailleurs, brakes, etc. So the OP should look for videos and tutorials on these, one component at a time. There are plenty of good ones and, as I said earlier, he should review more than one for each component.

BTW- I would hope that before buying a frame and a box of hardware, the someone would have some bike assembly and repair experience, and would at least know some of the more basic procedures. The OP's question implies otherwise, which has me wondering what the OP was thinking as he went along this far. There are issues of compatibility, ie BB type, and some knowledge is required before buying.
