Alva Eddie Rateaugi deck
Rat Bones wheels or OJ 2 Slimeballs
Tracktor trucks w/3/4" risers
plastic rails, nose guards and tail gaurds to protect your graphics
I'm probably 1 of 2 people on this board that actually rode any of that crap.
Go to a local skate shop and stand on some boards till you find one that feels good to you.

if ur just startin to skate then y dont u just get a powell mini logo, reds bearings, some hardware it really doesnt matter, independent trucks, i prefer spitfire wheels and watever griptape is cheap. its not like ur pro and have to get a bunch of pro stuff.
Personally I say 7.75, Its what I have always skated not to big yet not to small. I wouldnt go any bigger unless your feet are huge. So I'd go with.
Any Baker Board and thing andrew renolds or dustin dollin
Or Darkstar unbreakables are nice too. I broke mine an 7 stair when i stuck at the bottom
Krux Trucks
Reds Bearings
any wheel that isnt smaller than 50 but not bigger than 56
I don't skate anymore, I swim, I know weird transition, but grab some bones reds, quick bearings, don't get big shoes either, decks don't really matter as long as their fair [as stated above], i used to skate alien workshop, and toy machine decks, loved them, and also mini logo's are great, fairly cheap, and you can put w/e you want on them. Don't worry about grip tape, grab some generic grip tape, it's all good, and try and get a friend to start or who know's what he or she is doing, it's great to have someone to help you along. I also saw alot of great advice above, it all depends on your preference as well, Gl.
Also I know I don't have the game on my gamertag, but I still was a skater. I play with an offline account as me and my bro share this one, at least until christmas!
Excuse the grammar
ok,, u gotta let us know how old are you,, how much u would like to spend, and what u plan on doing eg street or vert??
my advice is if your street skating and want to learn like kickflips etc,, get a smaller sized deck,, personally i find it alot easier to do tricks on them, u have more freedom etc,,you should go to a skateshop and have a look at all the decks,, dont let graphics determin ur purchase, as they mean nothing, and if ur gonna practise slides etc, they get smudged after a few sessions anyways,,, so try to get something light,element makes light decks,,so check them out,, also get some decent trucks,, i wouldnt really bother gettin brand wheels or bearings as u are just starting out, get no name brands,, it wont make much difference cause ur not goin to go fast anyways,,,
so thats my advice,, hope it helps you mate and good luck.
you just have to ask people who skate, ask school mates or just go to skateparks and see whats up,,,and personal preference as well,,,
edit,,, also as stated above,, skate shoes are very important,,, as if ur wearing normal shoes they will rip after doing a few kickflips etc,,,, get shoes which are tight fitting,, with lots of padding around the olle area and kickflip area,,, as stated above, osiris, es, emerica all make good shoes,,,
and also practise on some flat surface,, first try to just get comfortable on the deck moving around at a decent speed,, tick tac around and stuff,,, before u practise any flip tricks etc,,
