Hm, if I kill Solaire early do I still get his equips?

Yup. You can kill him anytime after NG+ starts, since he doesn't move from his inital spot for some reason (there's no way to do his quest line in NG+). 

@Luvtospooge - My stats are:

Level -> 193
HP -> 1590
Stamina -> 192
Vitality -> 40
Attunement -> 12
Endurance -> 60
Strength -> 60
Dexterity -> 18
Resistance -> 11
Intelligence -> 25
Faith -> 48
Humanity -> 30

Left Hand -> Grass Crest Shield/Ivory Talisman
Right Hand -> Black Knight Greataxe +5/Pyromancy Flame (ascended) +5
Head -> Havel's Helm
Body -> Havel's Armor
Arms -> Havel's Gauntlets
Legs -> Havel's Leggings
Rings -> Havel's Ring/Ring of Favor and Protection

Those are some nice stats! Why'd you go all Havel though? For the poise?

Also I made the greatsword of artorias ( I heard that it's THE best sword in the game) and it needs 20 intel/20 faith...I'm wondering if it's worth it? I have 18 faith, 15 intel. 

Basically, what I was plannning to do is either: 

Get 20 intel/20 faith and equip Greatsword of Artorias. Then equip  smough chest,leggings and arms and Gold hemmed hood.

OR

Fire Demon Great Machete +5( Beast weapon, reminds me of Dragon Bone Smasher...I plan to upgrade it to +10, but for some reason I can't go past +5 even though I gave Vamos Large Flame Ember), 40 strength ( Im at 31 strength right now), then wear a mixed set ( Gold hemmed hood, Stone Chest, Black Iron Leggings +1 and Gauntlets of Favor). Furthermore, with 40 strength, I could equip Black Iron Shield.

 

Hmm, decisions,decisions...

 

P.S. Soul level 84 right now...Gonna get to 100 and then complete the game.

Greatsword of artorias the best sword in the game? I haven't heard anything about that myself, plus it's scaling isn't really that good for any stat, so I don't see how, nor does it have any kind of special attack. 

And yes, I went full Havel for the poise. Poise makes all the difference on PVP, especially when you're facing 2H Lightning Claymore wielders since you can be hit and avoid the usual stunlocks that those weapons create, allowing you to hit them back in the extremely long animation times.

Also, to go further than +5 Fire after giving Vamos the Large Fire Ember, you need White Titanite Chunks instead of the Green Titanite Shards you used to get to +5. Also, you have to ascend it to +6 instead of reinforcing it. 

@blkfish92 - The suggested PVP threshold is 140-150 in Dark Souls, though you can find good PVP at my current SL.

It was that part that caught my eye (in the footnotes section) : " Confirmed: The Greatsword of Artorias forged with a broken sword/hilt is the sword Sif uses, obviously smaller, it is blue when looked at correctly and also does one hit backstabs, VERY useful, along with the stat boost increase, the Greatsword of Artorias is the most powerful sword in the game. I easily do 850-1,100+dmg on normal undead/hollow/manserpents/clubmen/darkwraiths etc. No sword I've encountered even comes close to those numbers. And I'm currently working on NG++"
