I own the bigger version of these clippers for finishing work only They come with adjustable blade lengths and would be good for just basic upkeep. Its a 9, 10, 30, and 40 blade. Its not really meant for full groomings. But its nice to have. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IN24ILE/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_WAvHEb58GZM1W

Our academy supplied us with these clippers and they work well. I don't use them anymore though because the cord gets in the way: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018KVHBM/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_VEvHEb1KXG2W8 They are only 100$ though so that's nice.

I will link also a 10 blade but your clippers will come with one usually. You can use a 10 or 30 under a guard. So its up to you. 30 will have a better look to it in my opinion. But if you dont want to buy it you dont have to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002ZFOS6/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_0HvHEb5S6EJDE

I will also link the guards I use. Clip on guards are your best bet, magnetic ones fall off easily. When you put guards on a blade make sure its on correctly otherwise they can break your blade and it is a very sad moment when that happens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RBWL1G/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_yJvHEbM5S22WS

You can get cool care, but if you keep checking the temp of the blade on wrist you can just take a break from grooming and let it cool down on a hard surface. Or if you have two of the same blades you can switch them out. You do have to wash the blades before you use them though and oil them and that also disinfects them. Blade wash: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000141JCS/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_pOvHEbRYK7QNW

If I missed anything let me know :) and I can link my preference.

Those clippers won’t do at all. If you want quality products, you’re going to have to spend a bit more.

The Andis 2 Speed clippers are going to be your best bet. It’s out of stock on Amazon but I’m sure you can find it sold elsewhere.

As for the scissors, the ones you picked are going to make the job SO much harder. They’re super tiny and they look like something I might get to do touch ups around the face, but certainly not an entire dog. I’ve heard good things about Purple Dragon Shears and they’re extremely inexpensive. However I have heard that they often have to be professionally sharpened before they’re usable. You can find some good deals on Affordablegroomingshears.com as well.

When buying a dryer, you need to keep in mind that if you’re wanting to blow out your dogs hair so that it’s straight and you get that fluffy poodle look, you will need to find something that will get them dry before the curl sets in. If that’s not a concern you may be able to settle for something cheaper. I’ve never used or really heard much about the brand you linked so I can’t speak to the quality however I’ve heard great things about Flying Pig dryers.

If you’re really committed to grooming your dog properly, it’s best to just invest in decent tools whenever possible. Cheap equipment requires more maintenance and you end up paying the price in the long run anyway.
