The usual is 2808, 2810 or 2814 motors, with 900–1200 KV on 6S. A motor that's too small runs out of power and one that's too big adds weight.
It uses 6S. Typical capacities: 6S 3000–8000 mAh. The battery cells must match the motors and what the ESC supports.
The drone costs roughly between €550 and €1000. On top of that you need a radio, goggles and a charger if you don't have them.
A beginner takes about 8–12 hours; someone with experience, 4–6.5 hours.
