Welcome to the forum.
You have a good background and depending on your network skills you may or may not skip Network+. Since you are just getting started with certifications I would recommend doing N+ if in doubt. The testing center and situation will probably be new to you so it might be a good idea to start with an easier test. It will also give you that great feeling of achievement.
After N+ go right for CCNA. CCENT, from my point of view, isn't worth much but CCNA definitely is. I would like to recommend Todd Lemmle's CCNA book which you can find on Amazon and other shops. I used this for my CCNA and found it very helpful. If you prefer video over reading then you should think about buying CBTnuggets (expensive but very good, imho) or Chris Bryant's videos (cheaper but a little monotone).
While you can simulate a lot of equipment with GNS3 or Packet Tracer I would also like to recommend that you get your hands on a real Cisco Router and a Switch. There is tons on eBay and you will get a decent set for less than $100. They will allow you to learn how to connect to real world equipment, what happens when they boot, etc. All stuff that you can not do in an emulator.
Anyway, you have chosen a good route and I wish you luck. These forums are a great place to get help and motivation along the way so stick around!
