There are a lot of opinions out there about what is best, what one should start with, was is absolutely necessary, etc. I'll give you my take.
I started handloading before the internet, so I didn't have an easy source for information and I basically just winged it based on some gun shop advice and my Speer manual. I bought a RCBS Rockchucker kit, dies, powder, primers, and bullets, and nothing else. I handloaded successfully, more or less, for about six years before I got stuff that I would today consider necessary, like a set of calipers, a bullet puller, and a brass tumbler. I say more or less successfully because I had some die issues that took a lot of trial and error to correct due to my lack of knowledge and a bag full of rounds with bullets seated too deeply, with too much crimp, crushed brass, etc. because I didn't have a bullet puller. On the other hand I made thousands upon thousands of rounds that worked perfectly and I never had a squib, double charge, or any other catastrophic failure. I was only loading for handguns, often shooting 300+ rounds a week, and I did it all on my single stage Rockchucker.
All that said, now that I know more, I suggest the following:
1)Lee Classic Turret (not the deluxe turret, the Classic Turret is a significantly better press). Kempf's offers a kit that has much of what you need:

Get both upgrades for $22.00. The kit includes a powder measure, dies, and the safety prime system and is $199.95 including the $22.00 upgrade in .45 ACP. This kit both includes more than the Deluxe Turret kit and is a lot better.
2)A powder scale other than Lee's. I suggest the RCBS 505.
3)A bullet puller, again I suggest the RCBS one, but others work fine too.
4)A set of calipers, I use dial calipers, but digital is fine too.
5)A good manual, Lee's is fine, but if I were to select one manual it would be the Lyman
That should get you going just fine. A brass tumbler is great, but its not absolutely necessary, you can clean brass other ways.
I tried a Lee Pro 1000 and was nothing but frustrated with it. I returned it to Midway after much headache and bought a slightly used Dillon Square Deal B for about the same money. I use the Dillon for .45 ACP, most of the other handgun cartridges I load on the Classic Turret (along with .223), and my bigger rifle I load on a Lee Classic Cast (which replaced my Rockchucker, its just as good a press with a better priming system and primer catcher than the RC IMO).
