First, welcome to the forum. Second, I will tell you the same advice that I say to all who have asked this in this forum. It is very simple, you have a list of products that you have been, either advised to buy for hobby work, or decided on your own, fine that is your list.
Here's the deal, you say you will be following AoE, so, my suggestion is to only buy the equipment that is required in order to do the AoE experiments, in the order that you do the experiments. Any other equipment/tooling will reveal their need as you do other experiments or projects, and buy them then, when there is a need.
The bottom line is don't buy equipment that you don't need, until you need it. Otherwise it will just sit around collecting dust.
Hope this helps...
