Google "Tiny Whoop" for extensive info, the build is currently very hyped in the FPV scene 
Basically, what you need is the following:
- Quad: Blade Inductrix (BNF version if you already have a Spektrum-compatible RC remote; otherwise RTF, that comes version with its own cheap-ish remote) - available from Amazon or any other online store
- Camera/VTX combo: either Quanum Elite TX from Hobbyking (also check EU/US warehouses to find availability closest to you), or the FX797T combo from Banggood (also available from some local resellers on eBay)
- Some sort of video display or FPV goggles - Fatshark or Headplay goggles highly recommended but expensive, cheaper display or DIY goggle options are available at Hobbyking, Banggood and others
- Circular polarized antenna for the display/goggles (right-hand polarized) - e.g. Fatshark Spironet (available from both HK and BG)
You'll also want some larger batteries. The Inductrix only comes with one 150mAh battery that only flies for ~2 minutes with the FPV cam installed. Mylipo.de 205mAh cells are much better, allowing for some ~4 minutes flight on a charge, and you'll want several
Other optional upgrades include better motors (MicroMotorWarehouse CL-0615-14 highly recommended) and a 3d printed angled mount for the camera (search for "Tiny Whoop" on Thingiverse).
On cost: the Inductrix is ?60 RTF, camera/VTX is ~?40. Cheapest display with a built-in receiver and battery will run about ~?80-100. And you'll want to spend at least ?10 on two Mylipo batteries. So ?200+ total.
