Just need something cheap but really effective and also if you could explain why you chose what you chose for that armys so i can start building some strategys in my head.

Just take a lot of ork boys. On the second turn or so activate waaaagh to increase combat efficiency, and so you definitely get your charge successful

I don't have the codex in front of me, but I ran 500 points of Orks in an escalation league and did quite well with something like this

Warboss in Mega Armor with PK <--Hard to Kill, can kill anything he hits
30 Ard Boyz with Shootas and Rokkit launchas <-- Lots of Dakka and enough boyz and armor to make it across the board
10 Boyz <-- Cannon fodder, I used them to screen for the ard boyz and Warboss

This peaked my interest. I typically run the KFF on a Mek, but the list above gives you the boyz, just hopefully they can make it to the lines with only 10 boyz.

Warboss with a power klaw is a must to have. You can never have too many boyz. Having a unit of grots isn't a bad investment either for cheap cover/screening. Maybe pickup a box of nobs as well to add to the boyz units and give the warlord some wound allocation shenanigans. Solid basis for any ork army.

This is what I've run with pretty great success, I like the idea of the warboss and 'ard boyz though seems cool.

This is a weight of numbers list opposed to a resilient one. 60 models at 500 points is pretty nuts.

I don't think those 10 boyz ever survived a battle, but they always made a difference.

All the above, and don't play against Tau until the new codex drops

As long as they screened long enough for the rest of the army.
