does this set up sound right?

Hi all, as you can see im a newb. I have only been working with a lathe and Im buying my first mill this week.

Ive managed to secure a sieg x3 and im trying to work out the set up for the cnc conversion. For the time being im going to stay stock on the mill it self and upgrade to ball screws at a later time.
But im so confused about the process of setting up a cnc system. I have a process in mind and im hoping to get expert opinions on the way to go.

Seanet has quoted me on a servo kit which includes
G320.G340 case
Db25 with screw terminals
Connector kit
4 module heatsink
3 G320 servo amps
3 E540 servo motors with 250 cpr encoders
power supply 36V 25A
3 encoder cables
3 motor cables

So all I need from there is
Motor mounts
PC with cam software

am i missing anything? Does it just plug into the printer port?
Im so overwhelmed with all the information on the net, it should be simple to put together, but the info is so parted out its hard to comprehend the actual parts needed.

Thanks Rob

It should just hook to your parallel port, but contact Seanet to be sure. You need software to drive the motors too, such as Turbocnc $20.00 or Mach2 $150.00

Very cool. Im also talking with a great guy Aaron Moss about doing a full kit with ball screws and motor mounts. He just happens to have an X3 there so hopefully he can put together something sweet.
