Advice for my project/build

I'm looking to build a simple, not flashy/blingy (all black) SS road bike with some narrow flat bars on it to ride on the road in the city and around the neighborhood and am trying to see if anyone on here knows a good forum to point me towards for more info on this, or has some input related to this that would help me out.

I wanna keep it simple, reliable, quick/aggressive feeling and around/under the $500-$600 price point if possible. I was looking at the Nekkid frame on nashbar as the foundation for the build, seems to get great reviews all except the finish which I will just paint/refinish myself anyways. Also if you have exp with that frame I'm looking at the 54 based on the geo/size chart they have, I'm 5'9" with an inseam of around 31"32", I've had road bikes that were 54 and 56 and the 56 I felt a little stretched out on, I like my bikes to feel a little smaller "under me" vs me stretched out hanging on to them and I like my seat a little "higher" than some do if that makes sense.

Is/are there any parts list I can use out there to make sure I'm not missing anything? So far this is what I have:
• Frame:
• Fork:
• BB:
• Headset:
• Stem:
• Handlebars:
• Grips:
• Hubs:
• Wheels:
• Tires:
• Crank:
• Chainring/Cog:
• Chain:
• Brakes/Levers/Cables:
• Pedals:

I already have an SS 29er MTB and am completely in love with riding SS, but want something that will be much easier to ride on the road.
