I built mine piece by piece after shopping around for the best deals and also getting some hand-me-downs from friends. I can highly recommend Andy Lewis' own Slack Bros. pulleys because they have an integrated brake which is an additional $80-$150 you won't have to spend.
Regular climb-spec nylon webbing tied into slings can be used until you feel like investing in some spansets. MFRexpress is by far the most affordable place to buy spansets that I've found.
Catonslack sells the most affordable weblocks by far and even with the $20 shipping from Poland you're still looking at $50 for a good banana lock compared to $125 for all the other options. Right now the new models are on preorder for an additional %30 discount. Recently ordered two Catlock Pros myself for $97 shipped and I'm super excited. You can also get by in the meantime with a couple heavy steel shackles and some steel rings for linelocks but you won't be able to pretension, won't be terribly cheaper than a single Catlock, and you'll outgrow them pretty quickly.
Any small pulley can be used as a multiplier. Even a carabiner will work albeit not very efficiently. I use one of these which are available on Amazon but I purchased it directly from Aliexpress for about half the price. Use it with a prusik cord and you've got a very efficient $20 multiplier system.
Your next biggest investment is going to be the static rope. The size you need is going to be determined by the sheaves of your pulleys (Slack Bros. pulleys like 11mm) and the length you'll need can be determined by using Balance Community's Rope Length Calculator . This is going to cost about .70-$1/ft and you'll just have to shop around all the different sources to see what might be on sale at any given time.
