Khopeshes are a better choice than bastard swords. I'd also go half elf if you have it but human is a good choice if you're F2P and I'd recommend going pure fighter too.
Here's a quick template fighter i put together.

With so many feats there is room to add extra abilities like sap in place of the fourth toughness feat or perhaps take weapon specialization: blunt for when you fight skeletons , etc. The enhancements you will want to change around to fit your gear too and find a balance that fits your play style.
If you don't have half elf then you can take another toughness for your bonus feat as a human; you can never have enough health. Human should also give you 6 more ap to play with and an extra skill point each level. I'd probably get fighter extra action boost II and fighter strategy (trip) II with them and place the extra skill points in spot but it doesn't make that much difference.
I also leave the TWF feats until later on as I'd advise staying with a two handed weapon while leveling up until you get greater two weapon fighter, which happens at level 12 in my build.
