Alien "Butter Kwad" First Build Help

Good day everyone,

I would like to ask all of you who may read this to leave any input, suggestions, criticisms or do's and don't do's. I have spent many hours researching this build and think everything here is going to work well, but that's where you come in. If you spot something that's off, please let me know!

Here we go:

Frame:
ImpulseRC Alien "Butter Kwad"

Motors:
Cobra CM-2206/20 2100kv Multirotor Motor, Racing Edition

Props:
Gemfan 5x4.5 ABS Propeller - 3 Blade

Electronics:
Flypro Tower 8 in 1 (FC, PDB, ESC(x4), Video Transmitter, OSD,)
Cleanflight firmware (PWM, PPM, SBUS)

Battery:
Tattu 1300mAh 4S Lipo

Transmitter:
Turnigy Evolution

FPV Camera:
XAT-600M / HS1177 FPV Camera

FPV Antenna:
ImmersionRC 5.8GHz Circular Polarized SpiroNet Antenna V2 (RHCP SMA)

FPV Goggles:
Fatshark Attitude V3 Headset

Before anyone says it, I will admit this is an ambitious drone to dial in my flying skills as I would still consider myself a beginner. It will be a lot of drone, but leave that part to me. I'm a firm believer that anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing. With that said, please direct your energy towards helping my dream machine come alive.

Couple Questions:
The frame comes with its own PDB, I assume that I am not forced to use it and use the Flypro Tower all in one instead?
Is there a minimum recommended Lipo "C" value for this build that anyone could recommend?
Am I missing anything else?

Your help is invaluable and so I thank you for taking the time to work on this with me. Looking forward to ordering the components if all seems right here!
