I do agree, a protein skimmer is much more needed than a UV. If possible, get the best one that you can afford. Personally, I like Deltec, but the skimmer cost me almost $2000. Please get the best one for you, and I think that an aqua c remora, or a bak pak would be fine for a 60 gallon.
Please don't continue to worry about this. Just get the necessary equipment so you won't be in trouble over time. Remember, your aquarium is always a work in progress, so just take it slow and sooner or later, it will be complete.
