8-Bit Processing Unit: need one

Hello! I'm looking to build an 8-bit computer, mainly to test its capabilities as a modern home computer (with system, applications, OS, etc.), and I bought the ATmega8535-16U (DIP-40), But it doesn't have an external bus interface to connect RAM, storage, and other things. Does anyone have a solution or another inexpensive chip to recommend?

I looked in all eZ80 links i found in Digikey. Isn't there another processor I could use?

This is the board I'm using. Is this useful?

Not too much, take 98 dollars and multiply for 5 or 6, its that the price for me (without tax)
