Double check my parts list before I buy my first build parts?

Attached is my build list and sources for my first build. I am building a Prusa i3 with a box style frame. Any suggested changes to this list? are these quality parts? Did i forget anything?

the hardware kit is for the single plate style but the seller assures me that it will work for box as well.
I haven't chosen a specific set of stepper motors on ebay yet but I know i need to make sure they have data sheets, good torque, and be around 1 - 1.2 amps rated.

I attached my parts list in both open office and excel formats. No need to grab both.

How are you going to put it together, are you going to print it? If so dont see anything missing, but not sure if i would!

Didn't see on your list but you may already have these. Connectors for motors and end-stops. Power supply.

I have a power supply already, However i DID forget those connectors. Thanks!

Can I use standard 3 pin PC fan connectors? I see no difference other than thickness and I have a bunch laying around.

Edit: Nevermind those don't seem like a good idea. 4 wires per motor and the endstop pins are too close together for those to be practical.

Ya I think so but your gonna need 5 for the motors and 3 for the endstops. You can ordered the cables premade on ebay or if you want them to be a certain length you can order the connectors and crimps.
