	For starters, a basic setup might be an SN-28B ($20-30), a kit that has a variety of the connectors and housings ($12), and also some premade jumper wires ($12). This can be had for $40-50 online. With that, and a pair of pliers (as the crimp may need slight work) you are in business. Though one of the guides above (SpenceKonde AVR Guidance page, and also the tooki eevblog thread) mentions that the TZ-4228B crimper may be better. Do your own research and see what you find. I personally find the four jaw options unaesthetic. Three is better.

 The connectors / cables used on the Arduino Uno and sold everywhere in single or ribbon types. You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not learn how to use / make these. You do not have to spend a lot of money, and there are a number of tricks such as repurposing previously crimped connectors in new housings, making custom partial housings, and using blank female or male pins to add support to a partial connector. These tricks can be learned by watching youtube videos or researching online.
-In any case, I've crimped a lot of RJ45 cables, a few spade and ring connectors, and now the mini-pv clones, and the most satisfying are the latter, without a doubt. An excellent connector to crimp.
