Well the ballhead's pretty straight forward.

Now to the legs. You have anything in mind? If non you can start by telling us what's your height, weight of your max setup and such...

It depends on what gear you intend to use and your height and other factors such as desired load capacity. If your not swinging a supertele and a professional SLR or DSLR then the archatech head would be a better bet as it's lighter.

a nikon body with a 300/4. never like to carry heavy loads.

If you don't plan to add heavier lenses, I'll suggest getting Gitzo 1227/1228 and match it with Arcatech ballhead.
