Just invested in some maximuscle gear. On research from this forum and others i went for..

maximuscle progain strawberry
creatamax 8000gl fruit punch

Do you guys reckon thats a good start, and is there anything else i ought to be looking into?

if it helps i was the 'skinny fooker' that put up a post a while back asking whether i was wasting my time..

One other question i wanted to ask was whether having fairly high doses of the progain will be enough in terms of upping my protien intake?! i know i need circa 200grams of protien a day to gain, and by the looks of it the progain only supplies about 32g per serving (so say 120g per day)..(plus another 20g from the creatamax daily). any help would be great.. i.e. would be good to know where to find the extra protien in meals etc if i can squezze them in.

Good protein sources :

Fish (tuna, mackeral, sardines etc)
Meat (Chicken, Turkey, Lean beef/steak)
Dairy products (milk, eggs, cheese, yoghurt)

The above are all good sources as they contain the 8 essential amino acids that the body cant produce.

Other high sources, which don't contain all 8 aminos, but can be combined with other proteins to make up the deficit

Nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts etc)
Beans/pulses

Supplements do just that, supplement. YOu need to get the majority of your protein and calories from good quality food ideally. The list above is a good starting point for protein. Complex carbs (pasta, bread, potatoes) should form the other part of the diet. Base yuor diet around food and then add the supplements where the gaps are.
