Help with Quad build

What are you planning to use your quad for? I really suggest you get 900kv-1000kv motors, as they handle a little bigger props than 1200 will.
Bigger props means more lift, and more efficiency.
You could handle a bigger battery for more flight time.
Play around using this calculator tool to get a better idea of what Props you need for what weight you are carrying, I'd suggest at least 10'' props, and maybe a different frames, even a hombuilt wood frame would be better, as you could quickly repair it, and it would be more rugged. It also would not offer enough clearance for a gopro. Check these pictures to get some ideas. Also look at how my aluminium quadcopter did in a crash, you will get an idea of how flimsy that frame is.
For your ESC you chose a brushed ESC, these are brushless motors, 30 AMPS is a good choice, so here is a good replacement.
You need a power distribution cable or board, make sure it has the correct end to fit your battery, I suggest something with an XT60 connector (yellow blocky ones).
Take a look at my build log, I mention things i wish I had done differently.

Would this be a good quad for a beginerish person?
Is 1000 feet range good for a quadcopter?

I think it would be fine, but if you could find a Phantom one used affordable I'd get that. You may want someone more experienced with products like @holtneil to confirm or deny this particular quadcopter.
EDIT:
I just read the reviews and they seem surprisingly positive for a phantom knock-off. I don't see the usual complaints that these products usually earn.

I ordered it, off of gearbest...
Do you have any experience from ordering off of gearbest?Cool, I look forward to seeing some flight videos and pictures >.
So I shouldn't worry if it still says proccessing on the order shipment? Also, they asked for paypal verification, then I called in and asked and they said to just wait and I don't need to do anything...
Hurray! It's been sent to the shipping place... Im supposed to get a tracking number today or tomarrow!
LOL, I did the standard shipping?Unless you paid for better shipping, or are just lucky don't expect it anytime soon
I hope it doesn't take that long!
I received it today, AMAZING QUAD Gps hold is amazing... And this thing is a DJI phantom ripoff, what props do you recomend? Im sure ill smash the ones that came with it eventually.
Not sure, here is a picture of the blades. Also we did a landing gear mod, otherwise it was impossible (for me) to land without tipping it.Glad to hear that it worked out well. After you fly it a bit you could write a review on the forums
I recommend carbon fibre after you stop eating the pavement with your plastic
What is orietantion mode? I looked it up on google... Poor results
P.S. The blades are 10.5 inches long.
P.P.S. Great fly times!
