What are you suppose to do with the camera?
Personally, I would have chosen a cheap camera and a just a bit finer lens. Perhaps a fixed 50mm lens with a large aperture and fast autofocus.

Like most beginners(dont know if you are it, not saying you are) buying a expensive camera with a cheaper lens, since they think the camera is more importen.
But the lens is the most importen thing, when takeing picture and wanting nice pictures.

If you think you will buy "old" autofocus lenses, which do not have AF-S, you should probably have a D90. Otherwise D3100 probably the logical choice, fully on par with the D60 and the picture quality even equal to or slightly better than the D90.
But remember lenses with AF-S is more expensive then others, so if you wanna buy cheap lenses go for the D90

And i recomend to buy a macro, for some nice outdoors pictures.
