I hope you havent got your stuff already before I can even put in my opinion.
A toy machine board, I don't care what anybody says these are the best boards on the market simply becuase they have the right amount of flex with just enough pop to them.
Another thing to think about is concave do you want a relatively flat board or something with a little depth to it, this is why I never buy boards online I always buy in a shop so I can feel how much concave they have. This is something you will want to think about.
Trucks get Tensors, they have the best pivot cups on the market and are just a bit softer than most but don't stick or get pressed in on one side. The bushings on Tensor trucks interlock giving them a much smoother turning feel IMO and once again prevent stickage from side to side. DO NOT GET monster, independent, destructo. The only other good ones are venture and grind king.
For bearing high priced doesn't necessarily mean better I ride Speed Deamons abec 3 and they work great becuase the ball bearings are polished more than in most other abec 3 bearings and are relatively cheap $13-$15
Wheels are a personal preferance I ride whatever I can find cheap and ususally my friends used wheels becuase I flat spot them all the time withing a week of getting them.
Another thing you are going to want to think about is what kind of terrain you are going to be riding, is it going to be mainly park or alot of street. If you are riding mainly street gets something with a little softer durometer that will allow you to ride over alot more little rocks and things. I higher durometer is good for when you are at parks and on nice smooth surfaces where you can pick up more speed.
Don't skip on your hardward either always ride with 8 bolts in, it helps prevent pressure cracks and makes your boards last longer. Also risers are a personal preferance you either use them or you don't.
Now I hope I didn't just type this whole thing after you have already bought a board.
