SQL Profiler comes with SQL Server and allows you to trace execution and events on the server. Performance Monitor/System Monitor is a Windows utility that has counters that monitor peformance, there are numerous counters for SQL Server that cover pretty much everything. These are not only free but standards. Unless you've already gone through them and find them lacking (can't see how IMHO) they're probably the best tools you can use.

SQL Server also has some tuning wizards (Index for one) that can use Profiler traces and other statistics to recommend performance enhancing actions for you. Books Online has details on it.
