Welcome, Micah!  All of the armorers Glen supplied the link to are "vetted" (tried and true) suppliers.  Lots of sellers on ebay and such also sell armor kits, but many (if not most) of them are either not accurate enough to be 501st approved or require a LOT of work to get them to our standards.

There are sellers that will build your armor for you, but that can be pretty pricey.  Most of us build our own from kits, which is not as hard as you may think (especially with our help).

This is not the least expensive hobby by any means, but well worth it.

For the equipment needed to complete a stormtrooper kit, Joseph put together a nice list of tools and materials (he also has lots of tutorials - see the post right above this one):

 

The Original Trilogy stormtrooper and First Order stormtroopers have different nuances when it comes to the builds, given the different look of each, so make sure to look at build threads for the specific type of stormtrooper you want to build. However, the tools needed for either have significant overlap, so the materials list will be very helpful if you go the route of building your own.

Welcome!  Others have already provided the links to get started, but don't be shy asking any questions that come to mind while you are planning or eventually building.  That's what we are here for!
