It's a room but I only i only want 4 plants. And I want to know if it would be worth getting a 600w light and autos because I am a noob and they are easier to grow

it's like dog said their r loads of variables to consider but yes wot you proposed would work and as far as budget is concerned yes that would pay for a 4 plant grow so dig in and go for it then let us no how u get on ....ps for a first grow I would stick with fem photos instead of autos....only my 2 pence....

Autos are a whole different animal, they are good but they don't teach you much about growing. As was said better to stick to feminised photos for growing weight.
Learn to clone, start ASAP, don't wait it's not hard but you will have a learning curve.
Once you can clone and you understand the needs of the plant than you will be OK.
Bag seeds or cheap seeds and keep costs down.
If you can afford a 600 that's great, read up on ballasts b4 u buy.
If You have the funds get a 5x5 tent for your 600, flower in your tent and veg in a closet or the other side of the room.
That is my exact setup, except I run a 400 watt w 2 95 watt T5 side lights in a3x3x6 tent.
IMHO stay away from secret Jardin, I bought one and I think the gorrilas are better.
I veg under a four foot long 216 watt T5 HO 4 bulb fixture.
I run clones and seedlings under a smaller 4 bulb 95 watt T5 , veg and clone are in a strip closet across from my tent.
Everything in one room.
Just a few fans and my house AC set at 75 keeps my tent at 79-80.

What about this setup, would this be everything I would need for a soil grow?

Or with a little saving up would it be worth me investing in this?

Your hood size should be as large as you can fit, the ducting and fan should be the same diameter as the hole on the hood.
I am not a fan of Ebay for purchass like this, I prefer a good company that ships "brown boxes".
Can't be certain w Ebay shippers but a reputable website you can contact and confirm they ship properly.
If you buy from Ebay and it is NG what is your recourse?
Find a local store, ( use cash ).
no words like Hydro or Grow light in my parcels thank you!
Good Luck,

Use happy frog for seedlings and cuttings, transplant to ocean forest after 30 days.
No food with either soil for the first 2 weeks or till you see a need as in you see a deficiency. Start reading every day, I bet I read about 3 hours a day for 6 months before I flowered a plant.
I was just happy keeping them alive.
Don't feed to soon or to strong,
Don't over water,
don't pluck leaves,
don't keep light to close.
Attach duct to one side of hood then to fan and then out of tent.
If you get an odor issue attach duct to other side of hood and other end of duct goes to filter. Hang filter and inline fan, I even hung a room fan upside down also so I have air movement.
( U can hope for nice smelling plants but u end up fighting smells too).
Than a filter can be hung with two bungee cords from the ceiling of the tent.
Bungees are good for hanging a fan too.
I used 3' A/C zip ties to hang shit but if I do it again I will use bungee cords.

Instead of worrying about what setup you can get, you should be asking yourself - how much can I learn about this plant. Really, save money, start small and learn from hands on. As you get better, then start looking to making an investment into good equipment.

I admit I jumped into growing with hydro, I had a friend start with fox farm soils and he could not get a bud. I took the equipment and using a tent I got shit right.
I believe he had light leaks that kept his plants from budding.
But like I said I read intensely to learn.
