There are a lot of good starter sets out there by IHC, Life Like and Bachmann. Just get a copy of Model Railroader and thumb through some of the ads like IHC, Internet Trains, MB Kleins or Trainworld (My favourite) and they will give you an idea for pricing.

$200 a month will do you quite well if you take your time and pace yourself.
