A quick forewarning, I'm fairly new to the hobby but have dumped quite a few hours of research into building a quadcopter. Since I am new to the hobby, I have a tough time pulling the trigger and ordering the parts due to fear that they won't work and I'll have just wasted my money, which is why I am making this thread. I've got quite the parts list in my cart on Hobby King and thought I'd see if anyone was willing to take a look to see if I'm heading in the right direction. I am budget minded in some aspects due to this being my entry into building from scratch, but I am open to suggestions.
Below is my parts list. I'm going to add a bit of reasoning behind why I chose the parts as well in some cases.
TX/RX: Turnigy 9x After reading several threads on this forum, I dumped the HK 6ch and decided this one was worth the extra $30.

Frame: Q450 Love the design, simple and functional. Not to mention Cheap.

FC: KK2.1.5 It was either this or the CC3d, after research I seem to have read that more people recommend this one.

ESC's: Afro 30a ESC's Again, after reading around these forums, I saw many recommendations for these. Probably only need 20A, but the 20A were not in stock.

Motors: DT700 Good reviews, decent price, and found a youtube video where someone recommended them

Props: Slow Fly 11x4.7 Suggested by HK based on the motor.

I'm not going to link all the other small items, but I will list them below.
10x 10cm Servo Leads
Hook and Loop Battery Strap
20 pairs of 3.5mm bullet connectors
Male tx60 plug with 10cm wire
Prop Balancer
Status LED and Alarm for KK2.1.5
I think that pretty much take's care of it. Sorry for such a long read or a lot to take a look at. If I'm choosing parts for incorrect reasons let me know. I really appreciate any feedback.
