'01 c240 spark plugs/wires/valve gaskets

I am doing a tune-up on my 2001 Mercedes C240 (which has a rough idle and 98k mi).

It's my understanding after researching (a lot ) I need:
1. 12 spark plugs
2. 12 wires
3. left + right valve cover gasket

Can you guys please confirm that the parts I have chosen will fit properly and are the best choice? I only want to use OE parts.. Also, please let me know if I will need any additional parts/tools. I wanna get this order in!
