If you have never soldered a RaspberryPi to a PCB before, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you get a couple of practice boards:

YOU NEED BOTH!
It is much better to destroy a few dollars that to pay for a new kit and pi.
Official Parts:
- PCB Kit: Helder's Game Tech
- Laser Cut Tin: Helder's Game Tech
- Custom Battery: Helder's Game Tech
- 3D Printed Parts: Sudomod Shop
- Silicone Buttons: Sudomod Shop
- RaspberryPi Zero or RasberryPi Zero W (Recommended to wirelessly transfer files)
- 16GB Micro SD Card: Amazon (16 GB is way more than enough to add any games the system can handle along with any metadata.)
- 28-30 Gauge Silicone Coated Wire: Amazon (silicone coated is recommended because it does not melt as easily as plastic coated wire.)
- Multimeter: Amazon (Yes, you absolutely NEED one. So many problems is because of a weak connection that could have been detected with a multimeter.)
- Soldering Iron: Amazon (Any with a temperature control will do really but I recommend a 898d+ if you are going to get in to electronics.)
- No Clean Flux: Amazon (If you get flux that needs to be cleaned, it can corrode your connections over time)
- Solder: Amazon (63/37 rosin core is recommended. DO NOT GET PLUMBERS SOLDER!)
- 28 Gauge Magnet Wire: Amazon (much easier to solder the speaker on with this so it closes easier and the speaker mostly stays in place.)
