Looking for help and opinions before purchasing a drone.

Hi, I'm Trev! I am new to the world of drones and it is a dream of mine to be able to fly fast and gracefully like a pro one day. In addition to wanting to go fast, I also want to have the best picture quality in FPV to get the most immersed feeling possible! I created a list of drone parts that I have selected after doing a bit of research to ensure that the drone I build fits my wants and desires as much as possible, but it has gotten expensive really quick and I am not sure if I am missing anything important. I understand that this hobby is quite an expensive one, but I am purchasing all of my parts off of banggood despite the mixed reviews. I already purchased my Flight controller, which I will include in my list below. I did not add an ESC because my frame is said to come with one, but I do not think I need to use it since I have a 4-in-one ESC and I feel that the 4-in-one ESC will help conserve space, which is something that I am also unsure of and have worries about. I also have not selected a camera yet, and I am considering changing my battery charger selection. I really hope someone can help guide me some more so I can hit the "Purchase" button sooner with confidence :).

My List:
Battery-

Battery Charger-

Flight Controller- (I intend on using Betaflight on this controller and I want to have features such as Return to Home and Display various OSD information)

RC Transmitter and Receiver- (I want my drone to be able to fly extremely high, like into the clouds or at least as close as possible, so any recommendations on how to achieve that would be awesome!)

Frame-

Motors-

Antennas- (I am unsure if one of these can be placed on the drone and one on the goggles, or if they are both for the goggles only)

ESC- (I am unsure if I should use a 4-in-one ESC or if I should get single ESC's and then use a PDB.)

Video Transmitter-

Goggles-

Nuts and Bolts- (I am under the impression that I need these because I think that the screws that come with the frame are only enough for just building the frame and not mounting additional parts)

I do plan on practicing with a simulator before actually flying this drone.

From an electronics stand point that FC looks iffy at best IMHO . All 4 motors bunched together on the PCB like that is a bid red flag for me. Too much draw from one if the PCB heats up others maybe affected maybe not but too close for my liking
Just saying
Not being negative on your choices !!
Good luck bud

actually, I think the parts on banggood is really expensive, like battery, on the Ampow you could find a much cheaper one for you, as a beginner, it may not cost too much, (we are always crash as a newbie););)
