Germinating in a 4x4, and newbie setup question.

I have started getting my 4x4 setup ordered. So far I have a 4x4x80 tent, 600 watt hps light with a air cooled hood with hps and my bulb, 6" exhaust fan with filter and speed control and a small clip on fan. What am I missing or might I have done wrong? Also should I get a t5 or CFL setup to save when Germinating and when should I swap the light for the hps? Sorry I have been asking so many questions I just like to do my research and get it done right the first time before I do things. Any other suggestions and tips on setup are more than appreciated.

It depends do you only have one tent? Vegging and flowering in same place?
Are you just venting room through the cool tubes and into filter? Let me know and ill gladly help you out

Yes 1 tent, everything is going to happen in there I was just thinking about saving a little off the electric bill. The venting I am not really sure on yet I have that fan on the way. I was thinking about putting the filter in the tent and sucking it through the hood and venting it into the room, smell is of little concern. Would I maby need a 4" too?

I would get a mh for the 600 use that for veg then switch bulbs to hps for flower. If you dont care about smell yes you can go filter light out of room . Just make sure intake isnt near where you have ehaust air going
