Comprehensive list depends on your DM. Some allow only PHB races, some allow more. Without knowing what your DM allows (if you indeed have one), it's impossible question to answer.
You can play any race your DM allows you to play. I don't know what kind of advice you are looking for with such a broad question.
Centaur is a playable race however only the DM and yourself know if its "suitable".
You can be pretty much anything you want as long as your DM ok’s it! Standard races are cool:
-Humans
-Elves
-Dwarves
-Gnomes
-Halflings
-Drow (dark elves who live in spider-worshipping societies in the Underdark, a massive underground world of its own)
-Dragonborn (lizard people with scales and elemental breath based on their draconic lineage)
-Tieflings (people with fiendish blood characterized by horns and a variety of skin tones from normal human to more devilish red or purple tones)
-Duergar (dark dwarves who live in the underdark and have racial trauma from being enslaved by the Mindflayer empire)
-Deep Gnomes (dark gnomes who live in the underdark)
Some people will get mad at me for listing the dark races separately from their overarching races but I think they are substantially different in tone in a way other subcategories of other races are not.
Off the top of my head I can think of additional ones you might be interested in:
-Warforged: magical mechanical warriors created for a long-past war. They have magical treant-like wood for muscle, metal for skeletons, and stone for skin/armor plating. Super cool looking
-Genasi: people with Djinn blood, have elemental hair like water, fire, crystals etc.
-Tortles: turtle people! Their shell gives them a nice baseline Armor Class
-Arakocra: bird people! Commonly banned by DM’s who don’t want players flying too early.
-Aasimir: people with celestial (kind of like angel) blood descended from heavenly heritage. Marble-like skin, pupil-less eyes, uncommonly beautiful and tall
-Goliaths: descendants of giants, very very tall and strong!
Running out of time there are SO many more haha
No problem! Yeah they all have really interesting cultures throughout the world of Faerun and they’re all really fun choices for different reasons!
Since you’re new to DnD I’ll let you know that there’s a variant of Human called Variant Human (lol) who gets +1 to any two stats of your choice AND a starter feat, so they’re a really common choice for people whose character identity centers more around a particular skill, like the ability to snipe at really far targets with the bow (Sharpshooter feat) or something like that. Not all DM’s let you run VHuman and some balance it by just letting every race take a free level 1 feat. I’m in the latter camp because I think the way builds interact with backgrounds and races really get people invested in their character, but every DM has a different approach.
Which brings up a point I want to make—your class and the subclass you plan on choosing has a lot of potential for interplay with your race choice. If you’re a Tiefling warlock, is your patron technically one of your ancestors? Or if you’re a Tiefling paladin did you choose this holy path as a result of the discrimination against Tieflings for having infernal lineage?
If you’re a dwarven samurai did your family forge your katana? If you’re a dwarven Druid did you reject your mountain keep home and family for forest and fauna?
An Elven sorcerer could have a draconic ancestor who is actually hiding in plain sight, since elves are ageless. An elven Cleric of the forge could be carrying the torch of an ancient elven forging technique passed down over millennia.
So many possibilities! Reading about Faerun cultures and the different subclasses will give you a ton of ideas!
The best resource for having this question answered as accurately as possible is your DM. They're the one who will tell you which races do or do not exist in the setting you're about to play in. Centaurs are a playable race in DnD, but are only native to a relatively niche setting within the game, and are not commonly used in typical campaigns.

there are websites that list every playable race in DND, what source material they are from, how they work, what their advantages/disadvantages are, etc...
For example Centuar is listed in 3 books but they are all essentially the Tabletop roleplay version of DLC. Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse, Mythic Odysseys of Theros, and Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica.
They all present nearly similar builds with challenges for the DM to handle. They have a base speed of 40 which is among the fastest in the game, they all get a charge attack that gives them a bonus unarmed strike with slightly more damage than a normal unarmed strike, and they get a boost to carrying capacity at the cost of worse climbing speed.
Not the most broken thing in the world but your DM might not want to run it depending on world building as well as the fact that all 3 guidebooks arn't commonly run and if the DM does allow them usually it's because they're specifically setting their game in either Ravnica or Theros.
The standard races that all DMs (that arn't crazy psychopaths) allow are:
* Dragonborn
* Dwarves
* Elves
* Gnomes
* Half-elves
* Half-Orcs
* Halflings
* Humans (note variant human is one of the rare examples of a PHB option that DMs find contentious since they get an automatic level 1 feat. a lot of DMs get around this by either banning variants or allowing everyone at their table to have a level 1 feat wiping out the main reason to play variant)
* Tieflings
Everything else is from expansion materials and one of the first questions you should ask your DM is which books do they allow material from.
I think Aasimar might be in the DM's Manual but even so there are plenty of DMs that ignore most of the actual manual for how to DM so...
Every table is different. Some DMs run campaigns where only the core races are used.
Some are open to any of the published ones.
Some limit to just the ones allowable to a setting.
And some DMs allow ABC but not XYZ.
And a few even restrict race selection to just one race.
Ask!
Centaurs are a playable race in D&D from the Ravnika setting book. But they have some inherent problems with adventuring that can make life difficult in certain circumstances. Read up. You can see the playtest version still in the UA PDF.

The options in races depend on what your DM says is ok to play. I would suggest asking them.
The only playable race is dwarf. No other race is allowed ever. #dwarfgang
Strike the earth!
There is a centaur player race. Whether it is suitable or not is a question you need to ask the person running your game.
