Sure, idk if product links are allowed, but let's find out (not affiliated with any of the shops, feel free to find alternatives)

GMK Dots: https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-dots-2
Zoom65 (hotswap): https://zoom65.com
Stabilizers: Any really (e.g. Durocks)
Switches: Any really usually come in 45 packs so you'll need 2 packs for a 65% layout (Akko jelly are great entrypoint switches)

That's already it. I'm sure other people will comment some more entry friendly products for the hobby as well.

Be sure that the PCB of the board is hotswap otherwise you'll have to solder the switches yourself. Which for some layouts is necessary but probably not a good entrypoint. (There's usually 3 or 5 pin switches be sure to check if your PCB supports the one you choose). Keycaps have to match the layout there's usually ISO and ANSI.
