First Setup

I'm new to paintball and I've been reading messages from several forums for ideas as to what my first set should be. I'm considering this with the following options:
Bottle Covers: Red Redz 48ci Bottle Cover [BotC-RZ-48-Rd](+$14.95)
Bottle Threadsaver: We pick color [Bot-PM-ThdSv](+$2.95)
Butt Plate: 16oz/20oz/24oz [Butt-GN-20](+$4.95)
Elbow/Feed: Standard Included
Gun Cover: Red Redz Spyder Cover [Bag-RZ-Spy-Rd] (+$22.95)
Gun Oil: PMI [Oil-GN-1](+$2.95)
Hopper Covers: Black 200 Cover [HopC-GN-200-Bk](+$5.95)
Packs with Tubes: Black APP 2pak [Harn-AP-Nv-2-Bk](+$13.95)
Paintballs: 500 RPS Red/Black [Pnt-RP-Prm-500-RdBk](+$13.50)

Is this a good setup? What should I change? Am I getting ripped off at this site?

Oh, and money-wise I can't afford anything much higher than $250.

Thanks.

[edit]If it changes anything, I'll be playing indoor mainly.[/edit]

yes that is a good setup but you wont need the butt plate(not needed but some people like them, if your one who likes them just get one), the bottle cover, the gun cover, and the hopper cover since your hopper is already black

but since you have that much money to spend why not just make your own setup instead of buying in a package,i would go w/ the imagine,standard hopper,20oz co2, and a jt proflex,a battle swab and the rest on a day of paintball

You only need a bottle cover for nitro tanks, and I'm not sure if butt plates work with nitro tanks.

You don't need a hopper cover.

If you're going to be playing at a field don't buy the paint unless the field is BYOP (bring your own paint). Most fields are not BYOP though.

no need for the hopper cover and dont worry about a butt plate because those butt plates arent very comfortable because my little bro has one and the day he got it, he wanted to sell it because its very uncomfortable and didnt do anything, get rid of the hopper cover, the butt plate, tank cover, and paintballs(unless your field is BYOP) and by yourself a nice barrel or drop forward because the spyder imagine is a good gun

Thats alot of useless junk. Just get the gun, a bottle, an agitating hopper, a barrel, nice mask, Then put back 5 bucks for a bottle fill and blow the rest on paintballs.

I think spinloaders require a special elbow check to make sure

if thats a pure energy tank I would recomend against it a friend of mine has some and they suck

Pure Energy tanks suck imo, my friend has one and the valve started to come off...don't wanna be around that thing when it unscrews durring play.
i would suggest buying a Empire Reloader hopper. Its a good hopper and won't fail you.

if you need a good starting package for cheap (don't have a mask, but if you are needing a squeegee i can include it), look in my profile, you can spend the money you have left over on a good mask, i would recommend the thermal JT Pro Flex.
