just go watch video's and dyno's video's and look at other's build threads and determine what is pleasing to you . we cant make that choice for you. Just do something you feel you are comfortable with money wise and power wise.

When you say you don't have a budget, do you mean you don't know what your budget is? You don't have any money? You have infinite money? Goals don't have to mean power only. Before you worry about turning any wrenches, you need to figure out where you want your car to end up.

Drive your car and at least know what it is capable of before you start talking about going Fast and Furious. Because right now you sound like a kid trying to be Paul Walker.
Get a manual for your car. Learn the parts of it and their functions. YOu can't even begin to modify it if you don't even know anything about it right now.

Read. You're not the first person to mod a Civic. There is no set of blueprints to follow and no one is just going to hand it to you either. Plenty of trailblazers before you that you can learn from.

Read relevant links in the FAQs sticky and in the Forced Induction forum. When done, recreate a thread with more specific tech questions.
