So I was thinking of upgrading a CYMA M14 with the following list. Do you guys think this is a good list and what changes would you recommend to the list? Also is the CYMA M14 a good base gun or should I go for something a little more expensive, and if so which gun would that be? It would have to fit in the budget, so with the gun someone might recommend is a better option to the CYMA M14 could you tell me which upgrades to keep and which to not buy to fit my budget? But I did a poll on Airsoft society and everyone was going with the CYMA M14 as a base gun.

This comes out in tottal to be 466 dollars, but I need to drop a 100 dollars or so of stuff to pay for the CYMA M14. What would you say to swap out? I'm going to follow the mods on the holy grail thread to make it shoot better so I don't just do a lego build here.
