The standard Skywatcher eyepieces will be fine to get you started for a few months - especially if you add a reasonable 2x Barlow to get a bit more magnification when viewing conditions permit.

The next thing I would outlay money on would be a basic set of eyepiece filters (to enhance planetary detail), including a neutral density lunar filter.

Once you have a few months of observing under your belt, you will be in a much better position to decide what other eyepieces and accessories you are interested in.

The Sky Watcher basic eyepieces, the Super 10 and the
Super 25 are actually quite good starter eyepieces,
with good eye relief but lack contrast - based
on a modified acromat (similar to a Kellner)
