I'm interested in building a basic CPU and have a solid background in C and assembly language, along with some familiarity with the x86_64 architecture. I know that this project might turn out to be quite large and slow, but I'm eager to dive in anyway. I'd love some guidance on where to start and what equipment I should consider purchasing.

So, you're actually looking to build a CPU? That sounds like a cool project! Are you talking about doing this with hardware components?
Yeah, when I say 'hardware,' I mean using a breadboard, jumper wires, resistors, and whatever else I might need. I'm aiming for something like Ben Eater's 8-bit CPU!
