Do I need an amplifier with LP70X?

good beginner setup?

Buy once instead of twice. If you can't get the RT82 now then get a decent turntable instead of the basic AT-LP60X.

Is this an okay way to start?

The Daytons are a good value. 2 size options, 4" and 6.5". Then passive or powered options. Passive versions https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-Classic-B65-Bookshelf-Speaker-Pair-Black-300-254?quantity=1
