YOu are going to have issues putting road components on a mountain frame. Not saying you can't do it, but be aware it's not going to be plug & play.
Things like bottom pull top pull FD, 135-130mm rear spacing, BB width, spindle length, brake reach/pull ratio, shifter compatibility etc.

I don't know your market, but quality hard tail mountain bikes aren't that hard to find here. Set up with road tires sounds like what you want.
