i just bought a gp2x off the net, only problem is, it didnt come with anything to connect it to my computer.
so:
a) where can i buy a cord to connect it to my computer?
B) are there any peripherals i can purchase?
c) any really good comprehesive product lists (of accessories, etc) and/or user guides out there i can read to avoid taking up more peoples time answering my questions?
 
a) You honestly didn't get a mini usb to usb cord? It is exactly the same as the cord used for the PSP
b) SD card reader is almost essential. TV out cable, Breakout board (BOB), Mains adapter. 2500mah Rechargable batteries or higher.
c) http://gpnewbie.com/gp2x/index.htm

Also take a look at the gp2x wiki!!! gp2x wiki
It answers a lot of detail questions to hardware and software aswell as community stuff. I wouldn't bother about the usb cable if you need it to transfer files. If you want telnet and usbnet capability you should definately find out where yours is though. Otherwise go with a card reader since file transfer is way faster and safer. I gues almost everybody here has one. They are dirt cheap now.

EDIT: A break-out-board (short: BOB) is a peripheral that connects into the ext port of the gp2x. Break-out-board is the general term for a peripheral device that makes connections and capabilities of another device usable. The bob for the gp2x expands its usability with USB host connections, video out, and a bunch of other things. It's probably in the wiki. You could say it adds ports that don't fit into the gp2x.
