OK, take some deep breaths and think. You can't buy or use it all at once. What do you need now? Well personal thing like warm clothes and torches will be needed whatever you do next (btw a big thermos is great - don't muck around get a 2l). Then figure out what you want to do and put resources there first. If you are only going to image then nice eyepieces aren't needed. But I'd suggest starting out doing visual astronomy. That's where I've stayed - I just don't fancy the technical issues and time in front of a screen (I get enough of that at work). In that case you want eyepieces next. Don't skimp. Get the best. I worked out what I wanted and then found most of it second hand. It's amazing what people sell: I picked up a 10mm Zeiss Jana ortho for about $150-200.
BTW splash out on a tube of silastic and put a generous bead along all the joins on the base of your dobs. It will keep moisture out of the particle board and improve the strength and rigidity no end.
