so to make a short summary:
(i am missing a simple up to date txt or html file for this
didn't found this in the FAQ

Try my quite detailed
SCP installation guide and
the SCP Files page.
The Files page is slightly outdated (namely the ShineLT build), but else than that it links to the most important individual files, and the rest of the necessary stuff is linked from the SCP installation guide. You should be able to set everything up without most mediaVPs.
Looking at the mediaVPs, I suggest the following:
mv_core_b.vp - Install this. (Also linked from the Install Guide)
mv_effects_c.vp - personal taste, you can get most of the stuff individually from The SCP Files page. Personally, I dislike some of the effects included.
mv_models_a.vp - don't recommend it. The glowpointed models are horrible. Better go and search the hi-poly models yourself for now. Some are in the ShineLT build, but not all of them (I should really remember putting them in there

)
mv_textures_b.vp - DO NOT INSTALL. Contains out-dated stuff which would be used rather than the new files. Not recommended under any circumstances.
mv_hieffects_a.vp - Recommended for install.
mv_loplanets.vp - you won't need this if you install mv_hieffects_a.vp
mv_kpack.vp - You can install this if you like.
You can check what's in the VPs at the
Wiki page to find out which individual files you need to get.
File directories:
(generally, you can almost put everything anywhere, it's just sorted to keep things tidy and organized.)
VP Files: root directory
POF Models: data/models
TBL Tables: data/tables
PCX/TGA/DDS Images: data/maps or data/effects or data/interface, depending on content.
ANI Animations: data/maps or data/cbanims or data/hud or data/intelanims or data/effects, depending on content.
(But as has been said, a texture technically also would work from /data/fonts

)
Driver Issue with ATI Cards: A lot of people have problems with shinemaps not working with any Catalyst Drivers later than 4.4.
@ Lightspeed: Multiplayer of course after some offline training 
There isn't any skill around on multi anyway at the moment. It's (sadly) not too active at the moment. Hopefully that will improve once a chat lobby is reimplemented.
And one VP Package with all eye candy would be great
It would all be much, much easier if someone kept the mediaVPs up to date. It used to be WMCoolmon, but he left (and discontinued the VPs even before that). Since then, practically nobody's picked it up. That's also one of the reasons why individual files are better.
