What is a good, standard Protoss build order in Starcraft 2?

I am a noob, and I have almost no idea what build orders to use. Can anyone give me a standard Protoss opener?

1. A decent basic opener: http://www.youtube.com/user/huskystarcraft?blend=1&ob=4#p/c/A1476C41A02D8E8D/7/ah69S-TsQa8 I quite like the 4 gate though: http://www.youtube.com/user/huskystarcraft?blend=1&ob=4#p/c/A1476C41A02D8E8D/11/GpvL5YYPFgc
2. I like to send one probe directly to my opponents base and make a pylon and 3 gateways asap. Then depending on my opponents race I send 1-3 zealots in. That works every time in 1v1.
3. Here is a awesome guide I found to get better at Starcraft 2, It should help you out. http://digitwo.com/content/articles/tutorials/improve-your-game-in-starcraft-ii/
4. My personal strategy is to send all 4 probes to mine, and build the 5th one immediately. Then i send that 5th probe to do some scouting of the enemy base. If you encounter an SCV, then your probe scout can gradually wear it down until it dies. But the zerg drones can regenerate their hp, so you should try and aviod those and continue scouting. I place a pylon down, and then a gateway in front of the entrance to protect the rest of the base from rushes. I then put down a cybernetics core and a forge. Depending on what your scout finds, you can decide when to build your first zealot. If your scout comes accross a spawning pool or barracks being made, you can assume that your opponent is about to rush you w/ marines or zerglings. Otherwise, you won't need defenses so early in the game and can get to building your cybernetics core. You will then want to place another pylon and gateway down and consider either a stargate for maps like scrap station(for surprising your enemy w/ a quick phoenix raid on their overlords) or a second nexus to increase your territory. The rest is up to you and how your opponent is responding.
5. so you're gonna wanna watch your supply limit. make a pylon at 9/10 supply. and then a gateway right after. remember to constantly pump out drones. if you make the first pylon at 9/10, it should be done if you have more than one more drone cued up so you dont get the annoying build more pylons message. and then depending on where you wanna go, build a few zealots, pump out probes 1 at a time but steadily, and then cybernetics core, then first gas and stack 3 probes on it. maybe ever make the cybernetics and refinery as soon as the gateway pops up so you can pump out stalkers for your first unit
