Not trying to be rude, but have you looked anywhere on the site? There's a list of all the parts with links to online retailers. But, I'll help you out here, since I'm just starting mine as well.

I just ordered all the parts. I suggest you look on eBay for most of them, as you can find them all, in some form or another. I welcome any more experienced users to jump in and offer suggestions as I haven't done any work on the project yet!

I'll list the ones I got, I spent a long time analyzing pictures between ebay and the forums/tutorials so I hope this helps. All in it cost me just over $100 with a Raspberry Pi Zero
