First off let me say I am not very good with electronics. Any tips and hints would be very welcome, even if you think I may already know it.

Alright, so I am buying this in multiple sets.

Arris X-Speed 250.
The reason I am going with this one is the PDB seems the best for the price, has camera dampeners and a built in camera angle.
I already ordered this.

Emax RS2205 2300kv motor
These seem to be some of the best motors out at the moment.
Will order these next week.

Emax 30A ESC
These may not be KISS or Hobby Wing ESC's but they should do the job for now. Costing only $10 isn't so bad. I just need to know if there is anything I need to know that might catch up with me on launch day.
Will order next week unless another alternative is proposed.

10 Pairs KINGKONG 5040 Propellers
For less than $7.00 these should be great for learning how to fly this thing.
Already ordered.

Naze32 board
Not much to say.
Will order next week.

Tattu 1550mAh S4 75C
Seems like one of the best batteries out there for endurance weight and power.
Will order in a couple weeks.

In about two weeks

"3.3 Ghz transmitter and receiver" You could get 5.8 cheaper, but 3.3 will give you longer range. You might not need a HAM license for 3.3gHz FPV, though most FPV is done a little outside the law anyways. Otherwise everything looks fine. If possible I'd suggest getting better motors.
 
Reason I am going with 3.3 at this time is because almost no one else is using it, so I wont have to worry as much about interference from other flyers, it's a much quieter frequency and it penetrates solid objects better.

Ham license is just to be on the safe side, plus maybe I can learn how to use repeaters. Not saying I will but I do want the option.

As far as the motors, they seem to be the best on the market at the moment. http://www.miniquadtestbench.com/2300kv-shootout-emax-rs2205-2300kv.html
What do you suggest for motors?

Not trying to argue, just stating my reasoning.
