Gaskets and seals will probably be the largest cost other than time. It will take a while to do if you are anything like me and keep finding other things to do 
I agree with unfazed that if its running well then it may not be the best idea to take it all apart. If its done a lot of miles and you want to renew several other parts then it makes sense. Mine went through a fire so I'm rebuilding the entire engine.
Tools is basically spanners, sockets, screwdrivers etc. Torque Wrenches are handy but can be expensive. How competent / confident are you and how much do you want to learn? Those will probably be the deciding factors
