I'll suggest take only what you can practice every day. Nothing is future proof over here

It will be better to start from first step and go to another one we have to know the basics first

Gear looks OK. I'm sure it's OK for entry level cert like ccna.  One note here, exam is based on ios version 15, 

At very beginning focus on networking principles and protocols. Here, packet tracer, a free simulator from netacademy,  is handy as well as real gear.
