^I wouldn't say creatine is a necessity for lifting. Protein should top that list.

Man, it sounds like you're breaking the bank when you don't need to -I know you said money isn't an issue but still. Supplements are nice, but they're the auxiliary stuff, not the meat and potatoes of the regimen. You want to rely on real foods as much as possible, and your diet of supplements alone is probably more complicated than my diet of foods.

So, with that in mind, what does your food diet look like? If you're serious about building muscle mass, don't empty your wallet on the fat burners and don't worry about keeping it to >2500 cals a day. You're a beginner, you said, so I'd just focus on getting big; if you're lean right now, and it sounds like you are, you're hardly going to balloon up overnight with a little more protein and a few sets of squats.

To really see the results you're looking for, supplements alone aren't the primary thing, food and the right routine are. I know you've posted this in the supplement forum but the key info you should supply here is your workout regimen - days, sets, lifts, etc. - as well as the diet of real foods that you're taking in.
