For muscle building and muscle optimization, I use the following:

Now capsules for the beta alanine which helps stop the burn in your muscles (you will notice a big difference with this one)
-creatine monohydrate in powder, micronized 5g/day, from ON which takes a few days to build up (you can take a high loading dose), which is also good for your brain and will allow your muscles more energy when they need it
L-arginine+l-citrulline, 2-4 caps per day, from Source Naturals,
Modern BCAA from USP Labs which should be drank while you are working out
ON whey 30 min before gym and after, plus during the day if you need more protein
ON Casein protein, which is another type of protein like whey except that it gels up and then takes up to 8 hours to digest so it is great to take at night before bed and sometimes with breakfast so you always have protein available in your body

Creatine will tend to increase water retention. To a certain extent your muscles will get bigger and plumper and you may put on weight. For example, I weight 175 or so and put on up to 5 lbs when starting creatine again recently. I also started lifting seriously at the same time though so some of that weight was probably also muscle. Anyway, this is water weight, so it's not bad, but it if you're checking your weight regularly it may discourage you if you're not expecting it. The general consensus is to take 5g a day of a reputable but non-fancy brand (i.e. you don't need Dr. Insano's Mega Bro Gainz Creatine and Synthetic Steroids Grape Blast!). I use this.

Serious bodybuilders will stop using creatine many works before a competition to allow their muscles to get rid of their excess water and look more cut but that's obviously beyond the scope of your average person looking to get into better shape.

Here's two helpful links with more details:
