Which Front Derailleur Gear Cable?

Hi all,
I'm keen to do most bike maintenance myself but having tightened the front derailleur gear cable about 3 months ago and ripping off the cable cap the cable is now frayed and looks like it needs to be changed. However, I'm completely confused as to what it is I need.
This looks like a decent option: Transfil Gear Cable Inner for my 2008 equivalent of the Focus Mares Expert.
Can anyone confirm if I'm in the right ball park or have any alternative recommendations? I'm guessing that I just need some cable ties to go with the cable and I'm set? Or have I missed out something rather important?
I've searched on Google and am not much wiser for it.
Thanks for any help.
Matt

Thanks for the reply
Cable ends can be bought from eBay for £3ish for 50 (like these). Worth buying a lot at once rather than 2 at a time from the LBS, will last you years.
The Lifeline cutters have got fair reviews on Wiggle so I might go with those for now and get the caps from Ebay. Thanks
Bah, I crumbled. I went for the Park Tools. £27.99 on JE James so was quite pleased.
Thanks for all the advice
Just found some wire cutters for £5 from Screwfix
What cable cutters do you use, amaferanga?
so you don't buy anything bike-specific... i find that hard to believe

On the change the rear over to the front idea - I like it! On the other hand, I tend to go for fully sealed cables now, so they last for years without much attention.
I don't care what anyone else says - decent tools are well worth the money (they make you feel good too).
