Strongest Level 1 Combat Build in Pathfinder?

[Eldonauran]

"Standard array and NPC gold" is a little different in Pathfinder compared to 3.5 from what I am seeing. Do you mean, "Basic" or "Heroic".
Basic would be 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, and 8 for ability scores (3! point buy) and 260 gp.
Heroic would be 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8 for ability scores (15 point buy) and 390 gp.
Its notable that for PFS, you start with 20 point buy and 150 gp.

What do you want us to use?

To be more clear, PFS is for player characters. Adventure Paths are set for 15 point buy for PCs, but actual games can run from 15 to 20 to 25.
