After the basics, just add as you need something.

....Also Sears (Craftsman) offers some very nice kits that will include most everything you will need. Prices seem to range from $100-300 depending on how extensive you want to go. Join the craftsman club and you can save 10-50% depending on the sale of the week..
If you're serious, add as needed as Mike pointed out. I still use some tools I bought 40+ years ago....Tools should be considered a lifetime investment that will save you a ton of money in the long run..
