DIY DSP

I am starting to get into DSP. I am planning to make a mono DSP with 
16bit AD and DA, and some RAM. I am learning FFT and IFFT (I guess you 
can't do without it). 
I would like to do some filtering low/high/band pass, resonant, notch, 
and various delays, echos, and reverbs.
Where do I start?

How much processing power would I need? I would probably better off with 
a bought machine... But I want to learn the principles and techniques...

	Bye, Mike...
