I have gotten into pathfinder and need to build a character before I play again but don't really know how to do it all I know is that I want to be a half Orc barbarian but don't really know much else other than his name which will be Erak Stormfell and that I want him to be huge for a half Orc. Would some one please help me? I also do have the core rule book if that helps so you can refrence pages that I can flip to.
Barbarians do not need much help.
For your feat grab power attack.

Str 19

Con 14

a two handed sword

raging

A solid level 1

While i'm not quite sure how to make Erak "huge" as per the game mechanic, there's nothing to say that your half-orc can't be a hulking tower of muscle for his size as roleplay.
Finlander is right, barbarians really don't need much help, as most of their power already comes through their class abilities (namely their rage powers). The above build is generally a good starting point, and it can be tweaked fairly easily. For instance, i'd go for more of a non dump point buy:
Str 18
Dex 14
Con 14
Int 10
Wis 10
Cha 10
I definitely agree that a two handed weapon is the way to go, but a greataxe might be more your style for the half-orc (1d12 instead of 2d6, and a x3 crit instead of 19-20x2). I'm personally not a fan of power attack, and favor To Hit more than Damage, so something like weapon focus could be your feat of choice if this is more your style, but power attack is definitely a good option.
I also highly suggest you look at the Invulnerable Rager archetype, as it's one of the better ones in pathfinder IMO

Finally, for any more questions you may have, i also suggest you check out the Guide to the Guides post, or this website if you have the time http://zenithgames.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-comprehensive-pathfinder-guides .html
There's multiple guides on there to just about every class in pathfinder, and at least 3 for the barbarian.
Weapon focus is meh, the 5% extra chance to hit or 33% more damage? Plus your high strength and full bab will eventually hit on 2s. If you are that worried about missing get furious focus at level 3 and it will provided a bette rot hit bonus than weapon focus at level 4.
I think there are much better options than weapon focus.
I also disagree strongly with the ax. You will one hit anything you crit well into level 5(24+ damage without dice) and beyond at times 2. Times three is rarer and over kill. If you want to go with ORcish weapon then pick falcion. The 2d4 is less impressive but if you make it keen later you will threaten 30% of the time
