About 7 years ago i owned a Automag. Now im looking at Tippmann A-5 with this set up:

A-5 w/ RT

New Barrel J&J 12in Ceramic

Remote

A-5 Collapsiable Car Stock

and finally Either a 20oz Co2 Tank or some kind of HPA

Can get this all for 373.95

Good? Bad? Any advice or different upgrades?

That looks pretty good but I would ditch the stock, remote and co2 (Thats
around 70 bucks total?) and go for an HPA tank.

stocks are all about prefference.  I love them but alot of people hate them.  If you like it then buy it.  It is the same with remote lines.  I use an 88/4500 and a 92/4500 so I basically need one.  I love it though.

Never cared for remote lines.  Get caught up on branches when going through the woods.  Hated the feel of it by running it through by BDU shirt.  Prefer running my 114/3000 off a dropforward on my marker.  It actually balances fairly well in one hand.

HPA always works better. Period. Anyway, remote lines are annoying, and co2 sucks. Stocks are meant to reduce recoil on weapons, you dont need one on a marker. You need something to have steady aim, tanks (especially HPA tanks, nice feel) do that fine.

Trust me, I bought a stock awhile ago and didnt like it so much.

right after you left lol.  really the best thing you can do is try and get a feel for the gear before you buy it.  if you like the remote then buy it.  if not then dont.  And i would also recommend the HPA.  it is more consistent. however the rt is said to react better with co2.  personally i prefer the egrip. As far as the stock goes it helps me as i said before but go and see if you can borrow someones gun that has one or go to a proshop and hold one with and without a stock on it.  then get the setup you like more.
