Welcome!
(And I notice Ed and Bill have posted some worthwhile comments while I was typing.)
You are about to embark on a fascinating and rewarding journey! There is much to learn, but many others before you have been successful in building 6502 computers using 74 Series "TTL" logic chips.
Be aware that the logic "building blocks" introduced over a half-century ago as the original 7400 Series are now available in several more modern variants. For example, the 74 Series includes the 7408, which is a TTL chip with four two-input AND gates. The 74
LS Series includes the 74
LS08, which is a slightly improved version of the same thing, and the 74
HCT Series includes the 74
HCT08, which is a version that is much further improved.
You may choose to use any of these families, but certain challenges apply (especially if you intend to mix one family with another).
Do you intend to use chips you already own, or will you be purchasing the chips as required? For various reasons the 74HCT Series is probably the best choice for an introductory project.
Do you already own a 6502 or 65C02 CPU?
I second Ed's suggestion regarding Garth's
6502 primer. It has 22 logically organized pages, or chapters, which covers the many facets of making your own 6502 computer.
