Check Engine Light!!!!

Hey guys. I got the engine light on, so after getting some research i went to autozone to get the codes read. I got 3 of them. Here there are: P0300 (The PCM has determined that multiple random misfires have occurred.), P0301(The PCM has determined that a misfire has occured in cylinder #1.), P0506 (The PCM has determined that the engine RPM is lower then expected for the current engine operating conditions). What should I do??????? Should I just get new spark plugs, ignition wires and new coil??? Any help appreciated.

You're on the right track.
Start off with plugs.
Get the NGKs from Sparkplugs.com:

Well, i don't want to wait couple days till the parts get delivered, so I decided to get the parts from the mazda dealer. They said it'll be around $400 for the whole set of spark plugs, ignition wires and the coil. What u guys think??? Should I wait??? I'm stiil going to install the parts by myself at home. Is the price that horrible??? By the way I miss my 8 already.
