here's a good starter tool kit. It wont have everything u need, but its a good start. Riding a bike that you pieced together is really satisfying, but takes a while to hunt down cheap parts on ebay, and you'll always end up spending way more than you expect. Just use the search function on BF like crazy, and Sheldon's site. With some research, and advice from your LBS you should be able to do everything except installing the headset.
With a good conversion, you shouldn't need to buy anything but the cog, maybe some chain ring bolts, and replaceables (like maybe tires, chain, brakepads, etc).
