After buying the frame and forks I always look for wheels before buying anything else.
For me the 'look' gets started from those two major components.
The 120 rear spacing can be widened using the cold set method (wedge a 2x4 in the frame and push) the safe suggestion is that you can go one size more so 126.
This will broaden your options for wheels.
Then I'd go for sorting out a BB, headset and seat post. I'm a firm believer that you're better off not skimping on the BB and headset as these will affect your ride so much.
When buying your bar/stem combo you need to make sure your clamp sizes match, sometimes people sell whole cockpits which makes life very simple.
I've got tools and a work stand if you ever need to borrow anything.
