Just bought a 58cm street bike frame it's a brava. Am building it into a single speed, a bit overwhelmed. Don't know alot about where to get good deals on parts, what brands, and largely sizing issues. Any advice appreciated.

Sheldon is an excellent resource. What questions do you have? I just got through my first ever bike build, and it was a single speed road bike. It wasn't too hard after I cleared up some myths....

If your thinking about making the bike a fixed gear, and you have the vertical dropouts, I would suggest getting the White Ind. Eno Eccentric Hub (just as sheldon says). I am currently riding one and put a couple thousands miles on it a year and it still works perfectly...
