Help Build 2018 Specialized Allez

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2018 Specialized Allez Elite frameset and 105 group disassembled without a chain and cassette. It also currently has a Shimano BB, but I need to replace it with a Praxis M 30 to fit the Praxis Crankset. I didn't realize how many tools I truly needed, and I don't have the money to have it all done by the shop, so please help me build this bad boy.

Now, I need some serious help putting this thing back together as a college kid on a budget.

Components I need:
11 by 32 105 Cassette
11 Speed Chain
Tubes
Brake Pads
Top Cap
Bar Tape
Cables

Estimated Cost: $168

Tools I think I need:
Pedal Wrench
Tire Levers
Grease
Antiseize
Torque Wrench
Chain Plier
Bottom Bracket Tool Shimano
Bottom Bracket Tool Praxis
Chain Breaker
Lockring Tool
Cable Cutters

Estimated Cost: $278

Tools I have:
Hex Set, Wrenches, Screwdriver

Please let me know if I'm missing anything or if I have items listed I do not need

Thanks so much everyone

If there is a co-op or bike kitchen near you they may be a source of some of the tools. I have found inexpensive Harbor Freight torque wrenches to serve well; the ones I have also "click" in both directions, handy for left-hand-threaded bottom bracket work.

Most pedals have a hex socket on the end of the spindle, no need for a wrench
Tire lever, a couple old spoon handles
Torque wrench Ebay $46

Check ebay for bicycle tool kits you can get pretty cheap low quality tool kits that should work for occasional use.

Presta Pump?
