There is a reccomended progress route here, http://darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Game+Progress+Route

If you absolutely need too, then look up a walkthrough to get you back on track and then continue normally.

Also every build is good, it matters about how it fits your play style, weapons with different movesets might be better for you than for others, and other armor may be better selection if it suits you. Weapons with good scaling are always a great choice aswell.

Hopefully this helps. =)
