Hi,
So I have been delaying getting started on Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 since I built my new PC for several reasons. This has lead me to several questions which I would love to ask and know the what you guys think the answer is (I know most of the answers will be down to a matter of opinion). Anyway here are the questions I would like some advice on:
Should I use NMM or Mod Oragnizer?
What is the best graphical set up (A list of texture mods and ENBS etc.)?
What is the best mod for overhauling the character models and faces?
I am pretty sure I can run the most extreme ENBs at a reasonable frame rate as I have an GTX 780 so that doesn't really bother me. Hope you guys can help me!

I am using Fomm,but for merging mods I prefer using mod Organizer
You have to decide wich enb/graphic mods YOU like the most,but if you ask me I think that the enb of apocalipse and the ghost enb are the best out there,sure really much people are using blackout but I personally dont like it,because (in my opinion) it isnt fallout anymore.
And for character overhaul you have to decide what you like the most
I this helped somehow,anyway I wish you good gaming

Best graphical setup is : NMC texture pack + ojo bueno texture pack + blackout ENB.

Currently i'm using blackout enb with nmc's textures in my Tale Of Two Wastelands playthtough. The blackout enb is a little meh for my taste in new vegas but i makes DC look way better in the capital wasteland. I think i captures the harsh post apocalyptic feel for me

Well I use NMM and most of the time I do it manually which is kinda easy.
Also I recommend NMC's texture mod and Ojo Bueno. They're good mods
And well maybe try Blackout ENB or Dynamo ENB even though the new version has a crappy film grain from what I've heard. But hey you mod your game to you likings man it's your choice! Oh and have a nice day yeah?

I use NMM for my mod manager. Not as powerful of a tool as Mod Organizer but it's simpler and gets the job done.
For graphic mods, I play with NMC's texture pack and 47 ENB 2. I absolutely love how my game looks with it. But it's up to you to choose. Look at the great ENB presets here and on the Nexus and decide what you like. Same goes for texture packs go look at screenshots of each and decide from there.
For Character overhaul I use New Vegas Redesigned 3. The faces look really natural and well done in that mod.
But again it's all up to you to choose. Go look on nexus or here in the forums and look at what mods/enbs you like and give them a try. It's all personal preference.
Good luck to you on finding your perfect graphical setup!

ENB is up to the user preference.
One mod that I think is a must have is the Ultra High Texture mod made by printerkop. The texture pack in this is (in my opinion) and upgrade over NMC. So if you use NMC, install NMC first than overwrite with prtinerkop's texture pack.

What I use now is NMC's Texture pack, EWIs Big Texture Pack Ultimate Edition, UHQ Terrain - Rocks - Roads Overhaul, and for MillENB. I use it all with Mod Organizer because of it's many functions and easy to install and uninstall mods.

For New Vegas(in my opinion) the best looking ENB is Dynamo ENB with Nevada Skies and the best grahics mods are NMC and EWIs Big Texture Pack + Mojave Sandy Desert.

I've only recently upgraded to a nice system, so I'm still trying out this whole ENB thing - seriously, my old system was unable to run it. ENBs are pretty neat, but I'm not sold on it just yet.
Never used NMM. I like FOMM, but I'm becoming a fan of MO - I rather like the GUI.
Graphics? Gotta go with NMC, install Ojo/Poco Bueno over that. For worldspace atmosphere, I really liked Realistic Wasteland Lighting and Electro-City with Dynavision 3. Millenia for weapons.
Type 3 is going to be the most comprehensive and compatible replacer for the ladies - a lot of mods seem to make Type 3 patches. You're going to see some weirdly pointed feet on some of the barefoot models, though. If that bugs you enough, try T6M, but be aware that not all of the armors have been converted to that body type yet. Beware Of Girl is a good female skin replacer. For the guys, it depends on if you want to play a Tale of Two Wastelands, since I'm not sure if FO3's Roberts and FNV's Roberts will work on the same install - I don't think that they do, because I think they use different skin files. Breeze works in both games, but some of the models have funky feet shapes.

I think mojave sandy desert combined with ewis and ojo bueno is the best, and in case the enb I stay with 47enb and chromatic

I personally find it easy to mod New Vegas using mod organizer.
You can find videos on how to use mod managers on Gopher's channel. Links below:
Mod Organizer Tutorial Nexus Mod Manager Tutorial
Jay's ENB is just the best for me especially the nights in New Vegas proper and Freeside but it could be taxing for lower end PC's.
47 ENB 2 is also an awesome ENB but not as taxing.
I always find myself using NMC's texture pack as a base mod to enhance the textures in New Vegas and just overwrite it with other mods. NMC's texture pack covers the majority of the textures in this game so it serves as a good base mod for texture overhauls.
Link to the mod below:
NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas
There are only 3 real choices for NPC overhauls. It's New Vegas Redesigned 2, New Vegas Redesigned 3 and Fallout Character Overhaul. I will put the links of those mods down below to help you decide which one to pick as a NPC overhaul mod.
Fallout Character Overhaul New Vegas Redesigned 2 New Vegas Redesigned 3
I highly recommend the following mods to overhaul character models.
BEWARE OF GIRL Type 3 HiRez HiDetailed Replacer Breezes New Vegas Males
Here is an alternative male character model if the Breeze textures are not to your liking.
Roberts Male Body FNV
There are a ton of choices for overhauling the New Vegas face models but these are the only ones that I use when I used to play the game.
Hi-Res Eyes Replacer Vanilla Hairs no shine
But realistically you will probably just have to browse the Nexus mod site to see which one you like.
I hope this helps.
Edit:
Oh I also recommend the following mods but you will have to look for them yourself on this site.
NCR Ultimate Overhaul Boomers Go Boom! Greater Khans BoS: Reforged - drag's BoS overhaul Drag's Powder Ganger Overhaul
