Apart from the already mentioned nand2tetris project, if you want to build a physical CPU from scratch I would recommend one of the kits from Ben Eater: https://eater.net/

His YouTube channel has some excellent videos guiding the process: https://www.youtube.com/beneater

Ben's kits are for a simple 6502 computer.

If you'd like to build a CPU from scratch, I would suggest https://monster6502.com/

If you want to get really fancy, build the Monster 6502 and then use that as the CPU in your Ben Eater 6502 kit!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither the MOnSter 6502 nor any DIY kits are available for sale.
