i just dont have money to buy like 10 dumbbell pairs.

i would like to buy dumbbell handles and collars and some 10kg, 5kg, 2kg, 1kg, 0,5kg plates . putting plates on db handles just like on barbell. do you think it is a good idea? doing incline db press will be still possible?

Yes. Nothing wrong with dumbbell presses. In fact it has some positives.

Only issue is when you get up to higher weights.

I have 6 adjustable db rods with 4x25, 6x10, 6x5, 6x2.5, and 4x1.25 lb weights. It's all I use along with my olympic bar and weights. Make sure you search on Craigslist ... I bought most of that stuff on there for $75.
