You have to start somewhere, seems like a reasonable list. If I were starting again I'd probably get a Knox shirt, then you can put any leather or textile on top or at a push wear it on it's own.
Matching zips on trousers and jacket can be tricky. Unless I'm riding all day everyday I don't usually worry about having them connect. Like the jacket, having under armour means you can have some safety even if you wear normal jeans.
Alpinestars boots are pretty decent. Again I have a couple of pairs but my best, most long lasting, warmest, coolest, comfy boots are by Daytona. They will resole them for reasonable money and if you drag your foot a little here and there boots end up needing resoling.
Shoei are great, I have 2 but sometimes other makes suit your head shape better, so I would try Arai, Roof, Shuberth and there are some newer makes that come recommended.
Merino base layer is a good shout. Jumper for the evening.

Starting to buy some bits with view to getting test.
I have no idea what I'm doing, just been reading reviews so I'm posting up here in case anyone sees any issues or has any suggestions. I'm buying for local fairweather leisure riding at the moment till in get my skill level up.
Shoei NXS lid
Alpinestars SMX6 boots
Alpinestars GP plus r v2 jacket
Haven't decided on trousers, something that zips into the jacket.
Haven't decided on what to wear underneath, Merino t shirt?
I'm pretty set on a Ninja 400 now for my first bike pending a test ride.
