Hey guys, I'm buying the parts to build a drone for my brother's birthday. I'm short on time and have thus not read much on how to build one, but I have put together some parts which I am 99% will fit together. I would love it if you guys could give me some input on whether or not this kit will do nicely, or if some changes need to be made! If they do fit, what kind of Lithium battery should I buy?

It will most likely be used for taking photos, but I thought I would just buy the basic parts for now. Picture and description of parts below:
(Ignore the whiskey and the camera stuff!)

Parrot Bebop 2 motors, 50 gram each (Specifications not available, although it is made for the Bebop 2 drone which weighs 503 grams

Propeller guards for DJI Mavick pro, 159 grams

Rantow Propellers 9 inches, 18 grams

Frame, UK X210, 181 grams

Littlebee 20a mini Electronic Speed Controller, 5 grams

MyArmor Heightened Landing Gear, 41 Grams

Flysky FS-T6 Transmitter and Receiver

Dshot CC4d Openpilot Flight controller, 32 bits processor for RC models - 18 grams

All in all it should weigh about 620 grams.

Would have provided links if I could, but I'm a new member so it is not possible. The picture below is taken from my basket at Amazon UK.

That list just looks like a bunch of random parts.

I'm sure it does my friend, as I said and as you quoted, I know nothing about drones. Do you know if these would fit?

The motors are made for a drone which weighs about as much as this one will, and there doesn't seem to be information available as to whether I will need a BEC for my flight controller.
But other than that, it seems as if the parts should fit.
 
If his flying is as good as your building skills then buy a toy to learn on.
Seriously I wouldn't put all that effort & money into a project unless I could fly.
Save yourself the heartache. Your putting possibly hours days into it, only to watch it crash & burn on its maiden. Lol.
If it's photography it's all about the camera so get a toy with a gimbal altitude hold etc etc.
