Guidance on water pump & timing chain replacement?

My '03 has 150K miles on it and while I certainly have had many/most of the early '03 issues w/the car, it has been well maintained and has not caused me any issues over the last couple of yrs. While I am in a position to buy a new vehicle, I like the car and would like to continue to drive it longer, but at the current mileage, I am concerned about a catastrophic failure w/the timing chain, tensioners, etc.
It appears that the guidance is to replace the timiing chain and tenrionsers, water pump and perhaps components related to the balance shaft on a car w/the mileage that mine has, but I am unclear as to what really should be serviced relative to the timing gear, etc, nor what it reasonably should cost. Can anyone offer any guidance on what related service should be considered ? Thx
