Hey guys I need advice

I'm thinking about making a home gym as it's my bday soon and I can some items as presents :p

I'm thinking of getting

1 x squat rack (with dip handles holds 280kg)
1 x Olympic bench press (gym direct)
1 x home made pull up bar (high quality I have had one before holds 200kg)
1 x set of oly rings from the pull up bar
1 x hex trap bar
1 x torsonator
1 x prowler
3 x oly bars
180kg of weight plates
1 x fid bench (with leg curl and preacher)
1 x set of 120 kg db (gym direct)
1 x set of dead balls (iron edge)
1 x hyperextension
Shiploads of kettlebells and chalk

What do u rekon guys?? Anything else I should include
 
WOW, I wish I had birthdays like that, my last few birthdays I was lucky to get a card. :(
 
Squat stands
Bench Press
Olympic Bar
200kg worth of weights
60kg adjustable DB set

if you're training just by yourself that would be enough to start off with
 
Personally if I was starting over again.

-A power rack

-Bench to suit power rack

-Olympic bar and about 200kg worth of plates

-Plate storage tree.

-Some dumb bell handles
 
Imo this is what I would do...

Drop the oly rings for pull ups, the hex trap bar, either 1 or 2 of the olympic bars, torsonator, set of dead balls. Maybe the olympic bench press and just use the adjustable one you listed.

The put the money saved into either a better barbell, more plates (180kg isn't that much), stronger/better squat rack etc. I don't see the point to all that gear.
