When I put mine together, I started here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/
After I chose an appropriate CPU, I went in search of a motherboard: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/
I already had a cabinet and power supply. I bought 8 GB of RAM and an SSD that resides on the mother board in an M2 slot. I chose Linux as an operating system, because I wasn't about to pay for Windows.
