flash options

[BionicSniper]

I just bought a nikon D40 for my 18th birthday and I'm wonder what I can do for flash.
I've used a cheapy promaster FTD 5200 for YEARS on my pentax super program and I've use PC cable multi flash systems alot.

How should i go about Wireless flash?
What I am thinking is getting a sb-600 to start (along with a optical trigger for the 5200) and then get a sb-800 down the road.
Any other ideas?
