no worries, mordenheim. happy to help. it's good to know you're new to the game, as our recommendations, and reasonings, are likely to change.

Rogue
Elf Mage - I would feel more at home with a mage then a psi. I thought a psi might have been a had to. If I can get away with a mage then I would prefer it.
Bard
Ranger
my last would be either a priest or valk. I take it a priest is similiar to a cleric? a valk is similiar to a ranger in the sense of low to medium magic with melee possibility?
I would prefer a priest. Do you think my class above will be able to handle the loss of the valk?

with those five, i'd definitely add the priest. between the priest and the mage you'll get all the good buffs in the game, and the ranger and bard will cover the only other ones that matter.
this party has good balance of magic and melee and defense, so it's a good one to test against your style of play.
as a new player, the best advice i can give is focus. develop each character with a definite vision in mind, and some idea of how you expect them to work together with the others. it's not easy at first, but with a bit of trial and error, you'll find what you like and dont like, and you may just become as fascinated with it as many of the rest of us.
and if it doesnt go well, dont sweat it. take what you've learned and start again. i must have run 2 dozen parties before i actually finished the game. some got all the way to the peak before i gave up, others didnt make it out of the monastary.
good luck - and keep us posted!
