The hellion reactor thing is actually a fast expansion build. u should have 400 minerals little bit before the factory finishes, so build the command centre then.
basically, 12 rax, 13 gas, 16 orbital, reactor after 2 marines.

After u get the reactor factory up, build AT LEAST 4 helions to deny creep and harass, but unless ur doing a mech build or going banshees, sacrificing ur helions for few drones arent worth it. Take map control(means prevent zerg from scouting, taking watchtower, etc), deny creepspread( stay just outside of zerg's creep so u can snipe tumors) and prevent third from going down, or at least try to.

After that u can usually go three different ways, 2 base siege tank timing, marine stim medi timing and triple CC.

I personally prefer going the 16 marine + 2 medivac + 4 helion push, but u might prefer a 2 base siege timing, so i'll give u a quick standard build.
reactor helion expo -> when u switch rax with factory, build a techlab there, and when it finishes lift up and build an another techlab. after 4 helions, put the factory afterwards on the spare techlab, and start siege tank production, and research stim. Build a rax on the spare reactor and build 2 more rax, giving u 4 rax + 1 fac production. Up until now, ur on 1 gas only, and when ur natural CC goes up, build 2 more gas, which gives u 3 gas income. Push at 9:30-10min with siege mode and while ur moving out, build ur 3rd and a starport.

It's just a standard build designed to kill off quick 3rd base zerg. Since you don't have a medivac, save stim.

Also when it comes to marine tank engagements, easiest way is, stim marines back first, then make siege tanks attack on banelings, by click, shift click shift click etc.

I'll tell u more about drops when u get better
Or you could go mech, and i could teach you a good mech build as well if you wanna go down that path

Took the words right out of my mouth ,
The only thing I can add is that if you do not spot a roach warren, its pretty much a won game since a switch to blue flame is usually deadly but maybe it's not good to tell you this yet.
