I have these. I also got 4 individual 10 lbs plates to supplement this set (pretty sure CAP also makes these but I got some off a friend)
I got these from Canadian tire a while back. Individual free weights are much nicer, but these were much more in my price range. There's probably a cheaper set out there somewhere. Keep on rockin buddy. Let me know if you ever come speak in Saskatoon!!
I think any handles you get should be fine as they're designed to hold a lot of weight.
This is what I got
I wouldn't waste your time/money on only a few dumbbells of fixed weight. IMO it's better to get adjustable dumbbells. They are cheap and you can put whatever weight on them. Something like this.
But also, bodyweight. Check out /r/bodyweightfitness and/or http://startbodyweight.com. Read everything and get strong.
Like someone else said, I got these and just slowly added plates as I needed, usually off Amazon. Have used them for 4-5 years now, they work great.
If I had to go back and do it again, however, there's a reasonable chance I'd use these if I could find them. They are a little more expensive, but they let you use 2'' plates, which means if you ever get a bar you can just buy a nice one and use the same plates.
Of course you can also go dig around Ross Enamait's site and get his training books to DIY build your own 1'' bars when you need to carry a lot of weight. That's also pretty inexpensive, but you really gotta do a little work for it, and may hurt yourself, so be careful (and of course "I am not a professional and only provide this as educational, etc, don't blame me if you break yourself")
