Newegg is kind of like Amazon. Some of their listings are sold and shipped by Newegg, some are sold by 3rd party sellers but shipped by Newegg, and some are sold and shipped by 3rd parties.
Whatever you buy, do some research to be sure that the OS you intend to run is compatible with the board and firmware. Almost any Intel or AMD board will be Windows compatible; not all will easily run linux or other OSes. Same goes for the GPU/video card, network adaptors, RAID controllers, NVMe SSDs, etc. I personally don't find it worth the effort to build a PC from components. My home machines are years-old castoffs that I got either free or for next to no cost. I might add RAM and an SSD and that's about it. All depends on your needs, though, and how you like to spend your time. I don't do much more with a home computer than read email and surf a few websites, and older machines do that just fine.
