Also the power supply is rated to 12.5A is this suitable for running the steppers at peak with enough of a buffer.

For 60p more I'd go with theses motors. That bit stronger and match perfectly with 10mm pitch screws, I've fitted 100's.

Regards drives they are still good drives so yes they will be ok.

PSU wouldn't be my first choice but will work. First choice would be to build toroidal supply which is much better suited to CNC and more relaible. Wouldn't cost much more money.
