Remember the parts you have listed are just for the engine, you need to factor in brakes, suspension etc. For the price of STI engine box diff etc maybe look at a stroker kit with a newly built engine or 2.5. lots of options just need to ring people and gets prices.

An STI engine & ECU is all that's required.
I did this last year with no problems whatsoever.
A few small alterations to the original wrx harness and the AVCS worked a treat, Although I did smash a few built gearbox's before doing what I should have done in the first place and that's fitting a STI 6 speed.
In hindsight it probably would have been cheaper to sell up and buy a STI in the first place, But wheres the fun in that eh
