Now down to my my question, i need to know what throws work well in combination, and how to upset my opponents balance to successfully throw my resisting opponent and basically how to set up a good thow or combination.
With that toolbox of throws, you could set up a good number of combos. From Ouchi Gari alone, you've got:

Ouchi -> Seoi
Ouchi -> Kouchi (and vice versa)
Ouchi -> Tai-O
Ouchi -> Osoto

As for breaking balance and setting up throws, you might want to read the following articles on kuzushi (as I'm not an expert on judo, just someone who does judo from time to time):
