Need some advice.

Depending what you want your charger to do. If your just starting out you can grab $15 one from Hk, or you can get nicer ones over $100. I have this one, it feels really solid and works great. It does not have the abilities to discharge batteries to store voltage or anything like that, but I can discharge them with the quad+voltage sensor. It will do 2-3S, but not 4S. The C rate is the Current the batteries can push out without damage. All brush-less motors you see in quads need a high C rate (relative to small electronics). If you are talking relative to hobbies ~10C is low and ~ 30C is high.

Here is a nicer one that will do 2s-4S.

I really recommend mutistar, as they are specifically designed for quads.

Here is a muti-star racing battery. I highlighted in blue important specs. Where it says 3S1P, it is referring to the battery layout. 3 Series (add voltage, same capacity), 1 set Parallel (add capacity, same voltage).

Hi mate ok the charger is good as you need one that can balance charge/ fast charge/ store charge, the only problem is the xt30 the charger dose not have the xt30 plug so your need to change the leads, also your need a power pack take a look at these
This has the C rate you need and the mah and is xt60 so no changing of leads and plugs

Hi yes the battery will be spot on for what you need it has a high C rate for good throttle punch out
As for the power pack it will run the charger that George linked to the white one 50w ,you can go for a bigger power pack but if its just 3 cell your charging it will with a added board charge 3/4 batteries at the same time in about 90 mins , but that will be the max on this set up , I charge 3 cell and 6 cell so have 2 chargers so have a 540w power pack , If you feel your going to be charge loads of batteries at the same time let me know and I will link you what you need but its not cheap
 
Hi That would not come up on mine , that was the one George said go for if not the one I linked you is more powerful 150W
