Building my first NES classic with Raspberry Pi 3

I've been doing my research but I still don't feel like I know it all. I bought the canakit raspberry pi 3 and I was reading the instructions online and it mentions to load Raspbian, do I need to load RetroPie too? From what I understand, raspbian is the OS and retropie puts the emulators on there, is that correct?
Any other help would be appreciated. I found the site to get the roms from but not 100 % on how to load them onto the raspberry pi. I think you just put the files onto the sd card.

You'll probably get much more useful information on the raspberry pi subreddit.

The Retropie distribution is built on Raspbian, so you don't need to install Raspbian and then Retropie (unless you really want to do that for some reason). Download the Retropie distribution and image a micro SD card with it.
Retropie Distro Download
Retropie Installation Guide
Once you have your Pi booting up with a keyboard attached, you should be able to get it on your home wireless network via the settings section of the Retropie interface. Once it is on your network you can either ftp into it to load roms or (some here have told me) the current version of Retropie may show up as a network drive in Windows Explorer on a PC within your network. So you can also copy roms to the appropriate location like you would copy any file.
To find the appropriate location for your roms, look HERE. You'll notice on the right-hand side bar that you can pick various systems.
The Retropie subreddit is a good place to look for advice but very few people are going to be willing to help you there if it's obvious you haven't already attempted to Google some of this for yourself.

Don't forget the appropriate case.

What controllers are yall using?
I've used PS4, PS3 controllers. Logitech F310. Generic Innext SNES style controllers. Ordered an ELECOM SNES one from Amazon that I'm looking to try.
I built a PiCart for a friend using a Pi Zero W.
This isn't the pic of my inside (forgot to take one), but it very close to this, except I used a USB hub that had a microUSB OTG connector, so I had one less adapter.
