If you live in the United States a good mail order house would be Digikey. They sell small quantities.

In europe, Farnell is is also a good supplier for hobbies.

again like many you make a mistake
lol
dono what planet your on or if you just have a large fat wallet
but farnell costs the most of any supplier anywhere for anything
you need to wheel in a trucklet of gold bullion to pay for say a simple voltmeter
my advice is if your in central europe deal with crownhill associates for micros and other risc toys
and for componets
use epe magazine you buy it at the news agents
or elektor in central europe is good also {but i am sure i have seen many other epe type local mags}
they have reams of cheep suppliers for stuff from programers to tiddly bits for building radios etc....
{sundrays}
so youll find what you need at about .001u the percent of the price of farnell
as for digi key yes good idea
but why not try and wait a few months till proteus catches up
if your in a hurry
try the australian company picnpoke makers
they have a handheld dev unit
covers every pic as an icd and icp also does emulation
you buy the kit and build it
its cheeeeeeep only 170$ au money {about 220 euros or less ?? not sure}
look for them on the net
here is a list of emulators and other software

you should in the mean time
concider virtual breadboard
it supports the riscs you mention but cost $400
