firstly, is this correct?

Yes, that's right.
secondly, im not really sure what parts i need, i tried to interpret the diagram and the paragraph but i failed, all i could find was these 2 bits... but im not even sure they would work.. (i use
Maplin Electronics ? Website- Bgrade 7Inch Netbook )
Metal Film 2W Resistor - 2W Res 680R
Axial Electrolytic Capacitors - GenElect 10uF 25V
You forgot the transistor.
BC327 QB66W
You can find which pin is which by looking at the datasheet which can be found using your favourite search engine.
The resistor is rated to 2W which is overkill (it 0.25W carbon film will do) but it's fine.
If you really want to get into electronics then I'd recommend buying multi packs of components because it works out much cheaper.
Even from Maplin you can buy a pack of 610 resistors for £6.99 which works out at just over 1p per resistor

The difference between the two packs is:
The E12 pack contains 10 of each E12 value i.e. 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 33, 39, 47, 56, 68, 82Ω, between 10Ω and 1MΩ.
The E3 pack contains 30 of each E3 value i.e. 10, 22, 47Ω between 10Ω and 1MΩ.
If you want to get into electronics I'd recommend getting the E12 kit, heck get both if you can - the E3 values are really common so it's handy having extra E3 values.
You can get similar kits of capacitors too.

Maplin's is very expensive, you can get components far cheaper online, try RS Components, Farnell and Rapid Electronics. RS and farnell tend to be more expensive than Rapid but offer free delivery so it's always good to check out all three suppliers.
