I really dislike the old western skin they've been coming out for every champion. Renketon has one, caitlyn has one, casseopia had one, and mf had one.

Nope. About 1700.
I thought Renek's skin was more Aussie than Western.

Also, the top guide on leaguecraft, which i looked at to get a start, said to put only one point in SS and then max ou SF and Whither before going any further. would you reccomend this as well?

Mana regulation is very important on Nasus early. Though he has high mana-costs, it is inefficent to buy a mana item first as you need defensive stats, mostly from Doran's Shield. He also needs to always have the mana to be able to SS whenever he can but Spirit Fire and Wither are very mana-costly.
Only level SF as high as it nearly kills the creep-wave but falls short. SS as many as you can.
Understand that you are
very sucky in early team-fights. Stay close to your tower and farm.
Do not Wither unless you're preventing a sure death or securing a sure-kill.
Build a mix of offense and defense. Sheen is usually my only item with Mana early. Sunfire is nice against physical but screws with last-hitting with Q.
In late-game, Wither the phys carry. Don't bother withering Yi, Highlander cancels/prevents it.
For skill-order, SS is usually the safest bet for the first skill. Level E according to your judgement but only strong enough to prevent your tower from being overwhelmed. Try to get a little CD from runes and masteries for Q. Get an early point in W, possibly at level 4. Skills-order is probably Q-E-Q-W-E-R.
Very important is knowing when to use your ult. Use only when you know the enemy is committing to the fight. They'll just run and kite otherwise. Don't forget that it gives you an instant HP-boost, so ult if you get ganked and need it.
Get used to timing skills with Sheen. Use the buff it gives to every auto-attk. W-Attack-E-Attack-R-Attack-Q etc.
I favor Ghost and Exhaust for Summoner skills. He really needs the mobility of Ghost in team-fights and Nasus is very difficult to gank because of Wither and Ghost in laning phase.
