In my opinion, unless you absolutely positively know that you'll need and use the 55-300mm zoom lens, you'd be better off starting out with just the 18-55mm zoom. A 55-300mm zoom is good for field sports and some wildlife photography but if you have no interest in those subjects its just a waste of money.

If you're really like to start with a 2 lens kit then my suggestion would be the 18-55mm zoom and the Nikon AF 50mm f1.8 prime lens. The 50mm f1.8 will allow you to shoot with a lower ISO in low light situations where you don't want to/can't use flash. Plus it makes a good portrait lens on your D90.

If you decide to go with just the 18-55mm zoom then plan on using the next 4 to 6 months to find out the type of photography you like doing the most and how the 18-55mm limits you in doing that type of photography.

The normal "kit" lens for the D90 is an 18-105mm, which I think is better than the 18-55mm.

I think I would buy the camera with just the 18-105mm lens until you get familiar with using the camera.

After you use the camera awhile, you may want to expand your lens collection. I have the D90, and the lenses I use on my Nikon D90 are:

Nikon AF10mm f/2.8 fisheye.
Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8 super-wide angle.
Nikon AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 (replaced the D90 18-105mm kit lens).
Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8.
Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 (old lens I had since my film camera days).
Nikon AF 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom
Tokina AF 80-400mm f415.6 zoom
Tokina AF 100mm f/2.8 macro

I don't use all of these lenses all the time, but it depends if I'm shooting sports or action photography (80-200mm), portraiture (50mm or 100mm macro or 80-200mm), Landscapes (11-16mm or 35mm), vacation when I want to travel light (18-200mm), birdwatching (80-400mm), or just having fun (10.5mm fisheye or 100mm macro).

With this group of lenses, I have 40x coverage.

Six of the 8 lenses are not AF-S, which means to autofocus, it takes a D90 and higher - a camera with an internal focusing motor. If I had an entry level Nikon DSLR, I would not be able to use those lenses.

When you begin building your lens farm, you will want to buy f/2.8 or faster lenses as you will have those longer than the camera. Instead of going out and buying a bunch of lenses at once, buy a higher quality lens once a year or so.

A lens that's not part of any kit I would consider (it's what I did) is the Nikon 18-200mm lens. It covers about %92 of what I shoot. Expensive, yes, but does cut down on the amount of lenses you might potentially be buying.
I also bought the older 1.8 50mm Nikon 2 years ago at $120- at Best Buy. Because the price was low it did not make much difference whether I bough it from B Buy or B&H Photo.
