Welcome to the wonderful, oft confusing and frustrating world of reloading! As usual Unclenick has posted an excellent answer. But I am a simple guy that likes to keep things simple; K.I.S.S. First I'd recommend you decide what you want your gun to do. Hunting? Informal target? Bench rest type competition? Research the manufacturer's recommendations for bullet type and the same with manufacturer's recommendations for powder. Then find a load in your reloading manual(s) and then buy components (I always use a starting load). If I want to shoot Beger's bullets, I'd get a Berger's manual. This simple method works for me prolly because I like the research, loading, shooting, and analyzing recording results.
