Repetier Host is the only software you need, since it also installs Slic3r and Cura along with it. Repetier controls the printer, Slic3r and Cura are two different programs that convert the model into toolpaths for the printer to follow.

BTW, you have the case on backward.

The 1.3A is simply the version of your control board. That's a Sanguinololu which was a good board.
You'll need to spend some time at the WIKI and reading relevant posts.
Basically you'll need to get the correct driver on your computer.
Install Repetier-Host which will be how you will control the printer. Packaged with Repetier Host will be Slic3r. That's what you'll use to slice your models for printing.
Ask lots of questions and google is your friend.
